Born in the United States and currently based in Berlin, Christine Sun Kim has established a multidisciplinary practice that spans drawing, performance, and video. Her work gained significant international attention following her participation in the Museum of Modern Art's inaugural sound exhibition in 2013 and her inclusion in the 2019 Whitney Biennial.

Kim’s signature approach involves deconstructing the mechanics of sound and language. By integrating American Sign Language with traditional musical notation and graphic scores, she creates visual representations of auditory experiences. Her work is deeply rooted in the concepts of De'VIA, or Deaf View/Image Art, and serves as a critical examination of how sound is perceived and prioritized in public and private spheres.

Her recognition continues to grow through global institutional exhibitions and fair presentations. Her work remains a focal point for discussions regarding disability art and the intersection of linguistic systems with visual media.
