WARMTH

Kim developed works of ‘Social Engagement’ in extreme circumstances, an example being the creation of a work of art for the Saami in Finland. The Saami had been oppressed for years and each lived very separated from each other, each group isolated in their own world. His work there, titled ‘Warmth’ (2003), aimed to help local people to get to know each other by working together and by the opening of the artwork. Later on Kim De Ruysscher recreated the same work in cooperation with young people and volunteers.
