HaYoung is a transdisciplinary artist. Educated at University of Seoul and the Villa Arson in Nice, and having participated in residencies at Artagon, the Jan Van Eyck Academie, and CIRVA Marseille, they are currently developing the project Ph-X.
Working with video, drawing, sculpture, data, and even scent, they create multisensory installations that examine the layered and socio-political entanglements of materials, behaviors, and languages.
At the core of their practice is (mis)translation : a space where transition generates misunderstanding, error, and non-normative logics. Playing with the porosity between dual realities, HaYoung transforms one medium into another, one space into another, one mythology into another, revealing the invisible and questioning the construction of identity.
Their work has been presented at Centre Pompidou Paris [FR], Jan van Eyck Academie [NL], Frac des Pays de la Loire [FR], International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen [DE], Foundation Pernod Ricard [FR], La Ferme du Buisson [FR], Secession [AT] and Het Nieuwe Instituut [NL]. They have received awards including the Région Sud Prize at Art-o-rama in 2022 and the 25th Fondation Pernod Ricard Prize in 2024.
