For the past two decades, Jin-me Yoon has been staging performative actions for the camera - often using her own body as a sign of difference and more recently, evidence of an embodied corporality - setting into associative motion the complexities of our current conditions of accelerated globalization. Her latest body of work in cities - Seoul, Beppu, Nagoya, Vancouver, Vienna, and Mexico City - further extends her interest in the interconnectedness of history, materiality and the mutable.(Submitted by: Jenna )
