Working across video, installation, and performance, the artist explores points of intersection between the human and the non-human, femininity and otherness, and nature and technology. Taking the body as a point of departure for sensation and perception, her work addresses processes of entanglement and transformation that move across species, employing a visual language that juxtaposes documentary approaches with theatrical and fictional narratives to resist fixed identities. Through a methodology that combines analog media and artificial intelligence, film and digital technologies, she presents marginalized figures and unknown forms of life, inviting reflection on worlds beyond an anthropocentric order.


영상, 설치, 퍼포먼스를 아우르는 작업을 통해 인간과 비인간, 여성성과 타자성, 자연과 기술이 교차하는 지점을 탐구한다. 신체를 감각과 인식의 출발점으로 삼아 종(種)을 넘나드는 얽힘과 변형의 과정을 다루며, 다큐멘터리적 접근과 연극적, 허구적 서사를 병치한 영상 언어를 통해 고정된 정체성에 저항한다. 아날로그 매체와 인공지능, 필름과 디지털 기술을 결합한 방법론 속에서, 주변화된 존재와 미지의 생명체들을 제시하며 인간 중심적 질서 너머의 세계를 사유하도록 제안한다.
