Born 1987 in Seoul. Lives and works in Berlin.
Her work predominantly deals with traces by thematising the past, presence and absence. The trace bears witness to time while also reflecting its history and own production process. In her installations, videos and painting series, the trace exist as residue of past lives, a visual allegory for lived experience, place and memory. The artist carries out intensive research on materials and their properties by transforming or combining them new in her working process. This leads to her exploring the poetic context of the individual materials. In her work, she often gets involved with the exhibition space and develops site-specific installations as well.
