M Heung-soon was born in Seoul in 1969. Currently, IM is working between Seoul and Jeju as a visual artist and filmmaker. His works deconstruct and expand the genres of visual art and film. IM has been organizing and producing works in diverse forms, crossing the areas of documentary film as contemporary art and public art, individual and collaborative works, exhibition space and theater, and sites of everyday life. IM started a career as an artist in 1998 and held a total of sixteen solo exhibitions. His major solo exhibitions include Reincarnation (MoMA PS1, 2015), Things that Do Us Part (MMCA Hyundai Motor Series, MMCA, 2017), Ghost Guide (The Page Gallery, 2019), Title Match: IM Heung-soon vs. Omer Fast «Cut!» (Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, 2022) and Memories Showers Seas (Jeju4·3Peace Memorial Hall, 2023).
