Biography
The message that Shin Mi jung has relayed with her works are the people, who have lost their place of living via irresistible external forces, such as deportations, or expels, or refuge, as well as physical and psychological space which they havent restored yet. What she has captured in her video works are, the eyes of locals that consider migrants as Others (Autre), and the memories of the migrants. Particularly, she has recorded life of individuals, forced to be forgotten or erased from the Modern History of Korea, as well as tried a potentiality of video works with open-ended interpretations.
