KONG Siden (b. 1997) is a Cambodian interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the relationship between inner perception and external transformation. Working across photography, video, light, sound, and installation that invite human to reflection on memory, space, and the changing landscapes of everyday life. His works often respond to specific sites, using sensory materials to evoke emotional and embodied experiences.

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 also worked as a communication and publishing coordinator before shifting his focus fully toward his artistic practice.

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), Kampung Film Festival (2025), FLAME Video Art Fair (Taipei, 2022), and the Photo Phnom Penh Festival (2018).
