Heejung Shin

Heejung Shin is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the relationship between body, material, and technology. Her practice moves across installation, choreography, sculpture, fine art, performance, and technological media such as VR and robotics.

Trained in painting, she works and writes around a single question: how can the things that disappear — gesture, breath, presence — be documented and shared? The audience is invited not as a spectator but as someone who completes the work.

Alongside her practice she writes and publishes academic papers on the experience between spectator and artwork, and researches the documentation and archiving of performance.
