Heemin Chung
lives and works based in Seoul
Heemin Chung delves into the transformed states of image existence and perception within an urban, technology-mediated society, examining their profound impact on our ontological sensibilities.

Through evocative visual metaphors that transcend traditional representation, Chung captures the intertwined nature of digitally mediated lives, portraying a continuous stream of metaphysical occurrences within digital culture.
