Isu Donggeon Kim
Isu Donggeon Kim (it/its) is a multi-disciplinary performance artist based in Berlin and Isu Mignon Mignonne(異水 謎龍 未姩) is its drag persona. Mignonne in its name doesn’t stand for “cute” in French, but for 미친년 “Mi-Chin-Nyeon” in Korean, which means “crazy b*tch”. In its work, Isu questions how itself appears in this world and twists it through various performative situations, such as drag, lip-sync, lecture, installation, spoken words and more..
