Miru Kim is an artist, photographer, illustrator, and arts events coordinator, who has explored, documented, and photographed various urban settings such as abandoned subway stations, tunnels, the Croton aqueduct, catacombs, factories, hospitals, and shipyards. Kim's Naked City Spleen series of photographs include images of herself nude in these settings. She's the daughter of a contemporary South Korean philosopher Young-Oak Kim, or Do-ol.
Kim was born in Stoneham, Massachusetts in 1981 but was raised in Seoul, Korea. She moved back to Massachusetts in 1995 to attend Phillips Academy in Andover and moved to New York City in 1999 to attend Columbia University. In 2006, she received an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute.[1]

The Financial Times of London included Kim in an article titled "We'll climb that bridge when we get to it" [3] about "urban explorers," people who scale bridges and roam subway tunnels, storm drains, derelict factories, sewers, steam vents and other forbidden city infrastructure.
Kim is also the founder of Naked City Arts [4] a not-for-profit art concern in downtown Manhattan helping young artists to establish themselves.
