"예술은 작가 자신이 의도한 표현의 산물이지만, 동시에 그것은 공동체의 본성을 담고있다."- 임흥순, 작가노트 中

임흥순은 서울과 제주도에 기반을 두고 활동하는 미술가이자 영화감독이다. 임흥순은 작업 초기부터 성남시의 불균등한 자본 분배의 문제를 시각문화를 통해 분석한 ‘성남 프로젝트’ (1998 – 1999)와 이주노동자와의 협업을 비롯한 다양한 방식을 통해 현대사회 속 다양한 ‘이주’의 개념을 논의하는 ‘믹스라이스’ (2002 – 2004) 에서 활동했으며, 현재까지도 이러한 문제의식을 갖고 국가적 학살의 피해자, 탈북자, 여성노동자 등과 같이 사회, 정치, 자본적 이데올로기의 주변부에 위치한 집단에 대해 말하기를 지속하고 있다.
