Photographer
Oan Kim co-founded Agence MYOP in 2005.

He has had more than a dozen gallery and museum solo exhibitions since 2000 in Paris, New York,Los Angeles, Séoul, and Macao, and has taken part in many group shows around the world.
In 2009, he published Je suis le chien Pitié by Actes Sud in collaboration with French author, Laurent Gaudé.
He has received several grants or commissions from CNAP, FIACRE, SCAM, and Macao Museum of Art.
He received the award for Photography from l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the Artist of Tomorrow Prize from the Sungkok museum, and the prize of the Nuits Photographiques.
