In 2009, he published Je suis le chien Pitié by Actes Sud in collaboration with Laurent Gaudé. In 2018, he released Digital After Love with Actes Sud. Kim has received several grants or commissions from CNAP, FIACRE, SCAM, and Macao Museum of Art. In 2018 he won the Prix Swiss Life from the Fondation Swiss Life for his work on the project Digital After-Love, que restera-t-il de nos amours ?. He is the son of French-Korean painter Kim Tschang Yeul.
