My artistic practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of trans-subjectivity and the complex interplay between personal histories and collective memories, all within the framework of Bracha L. Ettinger’s Matrixial Theory. This theory provides a lens through which I examine how subjective experiences, particularly those of women and marginalized groups, intersect with broader cultural narratives, creating a shared yet fragmented identity that resonates on a global scale.

Through my work, I engage with a variety of mediums, including performance, film, and installation art, often positioning myself as both the creator and the subject. This dual role allows me to delve into a process of self-reflection and introspection that blurs the boundaries between artist and artwork, fostering a deep emotional connection with the audience. My alter ego, Haneros, frequently appears in my films and performances, serving as a conduit for exploring themes of identity, memory, and transformation.

In works like Reboot (2022), I draw inspiration from Maya Deren’s trance films and the writings of Clarice Lispector, merging dream-like narratives with introspective monologues to create a multi-layered artistic experience. The film, along with its written counterpart, exemplifies my ongoing exploration of how individual narratives can transcend personal experience and tap into a collective consciousness.

My approach is not merely introspective but also collaborative, often involving other artists, dancers, and voice actors to create immersive environments that invite viewers to engage in a shared process of co-emergence and transformation. By incorporating elements of traditional Korean dance, as seen in my collaborative projects, I also explore the fusion of cultural identities and the global exchange of artistic practices.

In summary, my work seeks to bridge the gap between personal and collective memory, challenging traditional narratives and offering new ways of understanding identity and connection in an increasingly interconnected world. Through the lens of matrixial theory, I aim to create art that resonates on a deeply emotional level, inviting viewers to become active participants in the dialogue between past and present, self and other.
