Yun CHOI (b.1989) lives and works in Seoul. From public places and popular media, CHOI captures, compiles scenes that create a social climate, and repurposes them for her videos combined with mixed media installations, and performances. Interested in pedestrian and conventional images, words, behaviors of contemporary Korean society, she focuses on the collective belief and fantasy that they imply. She often brings the ways of superstition, nonsense, variant and viral marketing to her practices.
 
 
CHOI had solo exhibitions at DOOSAN Gallery(2020), Art Sonje Center project space(2017), participated in group exhibitions held at Asia Culture Center(2020), Platform-L Contemporary Art Center(2019), Arko Art Museum(2019), Busan Biennale(2019), the Gwangju Biennale’s satellite exhibition(2018), Buk-Seoul Museum of Art(2017), Kukje Gallery(2017), Seoul Museum of Art(2016), HITE Collection(2014) and more.
