About the Artist
Sojin Kwak (b. 1993) works across a range of media, from video and performance to sculpture and installation. Kwak focuses on an interactive and action-oriented practice in which the photographer’s body, the device of the camera, the subject, and the location all influence one another. Her solo exhibitions include Cloud to Ground (Replace Hannam, 2025), Oh-my-god-this-is-terrible-please-don’t-stop (Seoul Art Space Mullae, 2022), Black Bird Black (TINC, 2021), and Axe and Dummy Heads (Insa Art Space, 2020). Kwak has also participated in group exhibitions at the Busan Museum of Contemporary Art (2025), OB/SCENE FOCUS (2024), and Frieze Film (2023). She was awarded the Sisley Young Artist Award in 2024.

Ru Kim (b. 1995) works primarily with performance, video installation, and text, focusing on the social function of art and the structures of violence. Kim’s practice explores sexual and racial violence rooted in imperial ideologies as well as sci-fi narratives. Their recent solo exhibitions include I KNOW WHAT I’VE DONE (TINC, former Myeongseong Church, 2024), a fist is a fist is a fist (Boan 1942, CHOI&CHOI Gallery, Space 413, 2023), and Ecotone: Capacity for Escape (Post Territory Ujeongguk, 2022). Kim has also taken part in group exhibitions at Millennium Film Archive (2024), Visaural (2023), WESS (2023), Coimbra Biennial of Contemporary Art (2022), Centre Rhénan d’Art Contemporain (2021), and Gyeongnam Art Museum (2021).

Moon Sanghoon (b. 1988) explores questions of boundaries, creating works that connect the voices of minorities with the sense of failure and the sentiment of vanishing things. Moon has held solo exhibitions that include No Future (Space Illi, 2021), Wish you were here (Yeon Rainbow x Osondoson, 2020), and We will always cross each other (Keep in Touch Seoul, 2019). They have also participated in group exhibitions at Art Archives, Seoul Museum of Art (2024) and Hapjungjigu (2019). In addition, Moon directed a performance titled Itaewon Transgender Club 2F (Doosan Art Center, 2025).

Jaeyun Sung (b. 1999) primarily works with photography to document people’s personal lives, which he weaves into narrative form. Currently, Sung explores his gender identity through work that addresses the bodies, desires, and histories of transgender individuals. Recently, he held a solo exhibition, Suk-Woong (Y Art Gallery, 2024), and participated in group exhibitions at CHOI&CHOI Gallery (2024) and Misungjang Motel (2023). Sung is the author of The Faces of Holiday (2021), a member of W/O F., and part of Imugi, a project that archives the history of transgender people and sex work in Itaewon (a neighborhood of Seoul).

Yagwang (formed in 2021, Kim Taeri [b. 1993] and Jeon In [b. 1995]) is a visual art duo collective that reveals representational languages aimed at subverting fixed notions of identity by working across video, installation, performance, and painting.  Their practice intersects gender with discourses on human rights, generations, and labor, often through the mediums of body and space. They have held solo exhibitions, including KIND (PS Center, 2024) and Lubricant (Windmill, 2022), as well as taken part in group exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (2025), Museumhead (2025), ARKO Art Center (2024), and Insa Art Space (2024).

Hiju Yoon (b. 1997) works with moving images, including film and video, focusing on moments when personas inhabiting digital spaces exert political power. She has held both solo exhibitions, Seoul Angel’s Poem (Space Cadalogs, 2025) and The Silly Healy Milky Show (Zoeung, 2023), and participated in group exhibitions, including one held at Museumhead (2024).

Chang Younghae (b. 1994) works across video, performance, and installation as she focuses on how violence and desire are transformed and distorted through technology. For the artist, the body is a subject that is transformed and reconstructed through technology. Utilizing devices such as AI, cameras, and X-rays, Chang focuses on processes that convert the body into images, fragment it, or render it as an object. She has not only held solo exhibitions, including Glove box (AlterSide, 2024) and Surge Analysis (Gallery 175, 2021), but also taken part in group exhibitions and performances at venues such as Doosan Gallery (2025), ARKO Art Center (2024), and Windmill (2024).

Jo Hyunjin (b. 2000) primarily works with performance and sculpture, exploring fluid bodies and spaces through sculptural forms and performance stages that allow for flexible deconstruction and combination. She is particularly interested in states of hybridity and focuses on beings that embrace such conditions as part of their strategy. Jo co-produced and co-directed the performance Night Beast Troop (Windmill, 2025), and participated in the group exhibition Boot Camp (Windmill, 2022).

Jimin Hah (b. 2000) works with video and performance, exploring the multiple states of the moving body. Focusing on the body in motion as a site of both discipline and injury, as well as productivity and violence, Hah constructs narratives that subvert these conditions through a gendered perspective. They co-produced and co-directed the performance Night Beast Troop (Windmill, 2025). Hah’s video works have been screened at Suchi (2025) and entered in the short film competition at the Seoul Independent Film Festival (2023).

Sol Han (b. 1989) expresses issues related to autobiographical minority status—minority identity rooted in personal experience—through site-specific performances and video works. Han’s practice has addressed themes such as amateur artists, lesbian butch identity, underground sex work, and life as a precariat.

Han has held solo exhibitions that include Starry starry night (Show and Tell, 2020) and There’s always tomorrow (PLACEMAK LASER, 2019). Notable group exhibitions they have taken part in include those at Hapjungjigu (2024, 2018), Platform-L Contemporary Art Center Gallery (2022), Museumhead (2022), Ilmin Museum of Art (2020), W Stage Jeju (2020), and the UCLA New Wight International Biennial (2018). Han is also a member of Imugi, a project that archives the history of transgender people and sex work in Itaewon.

Hong Jiyoung (b. 1998) works primarily with photography, using the body as a basis to explore themes of queerness, violence, and sexuality. She takes photographs and writes on behalf of things that are invisible yet real. Hong has published a collection of photographs, Everything Flows (2022), and is a member of W/O F., where she is also involved in curatorial work. Her recent exhibitions include those at Museumhead (2024) and Frieze Seoul Live (2024).
