KONG Siden (b. 1997, Phnom Penh, Cambodia) is an interdisciplinary artist and an Art Lecturer in the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts at Khon Kaen University. Exploring the delicate relationship between inner perception and external transformation, Siden works across photography, video, light, sound, mixed media, and installation. His interdisciplinary practice directly responds to site-specific environments, inviting viewers to reflect on memory, cultural displacement, spatial politics, and shifting daily landscapes.

Siden graduated with a degree in Interior Design from the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Driven by a desire to engage with contemporary art—which remains limited in Cambodia—he pursued further training at Studio Images, Institut français du Cambodge (2017–18), and Sa Sa Art Projects, where he studied contemporary art, documentary photography, and English for artists between 2018 and 2019. He was a member and the Communication and Publishing Coordinator with Sa Sa Art Project.

His first solo exhibition, Moments in Light, was held at Sa Sa Art Projects in 2023. He is the recipient of several notable awards, including the Dogma Prize (Ho Chi Minh City, 2023), the Treeline Grant (Siem Reap, 2020), and the Java Creative Generation 3 Award (Phnom Penh, 2020). His work has been shown in group exhibitions across Southeast Asia and beyond, including Modern Architecture: Echoes + Reflections at Raintree (2024), the Kampung Film Festival (2025), the FLAME Video Art Fair (Taipei, 2022), and the Photo Phnom Penh Festival (2018). More recently, his work was featured in Sound of Eras 2025–26 (Khon Kaen, Nong Khai, and Udon Thani), the Kupper Art Fes 2026, the Patani Biennale 2026 in Thailand, and Soft Soft Sand, Kuantan Art Fesitval 2026, Kuantan, Malaysia.

Siden has participated in various artist residencies, including the Saitama Artist-In-Residence Program during the Saitama Triennale (Japan, 2023), Muang-Kong-Koi-Jaroen-Raww (My Country Civilization) in Khon Kaen (2024), United Yoga Arts’ Chhum Hean Art Residency Program, Think Deep Projects by tiSamjort, and the Saari Residence in Finland (2025). He is currently based in Khon Kaen, Thailand, where he is a member of the Kultx collective.
