About


  
Hyeseon Jeong and Seongmin Yuk are an artist duo based in Cologne. They focus on the examination of new narratives through their audiovisual works. Their narratives address new eco-social structures, by speculating a hyper-connected environment, where humans, nonhumans, and machines create an alternative planetary living. They actively present their works and workshops internationally,  such as at ZKM (2023/DE), Driving the Human Festival (2021-2023/DE), Bienal ‘23 Fotografia do Porto (2023/PT), Matters of Activity (2023/DE), Images Festival (2023/CA), Nordic House (2022/IS), Temporary Gallery (2022/DE), BISFF (2022/CN), ADAF (2022/GR) and among others. They have been working together since 2021 and are finalising their master’s degree at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne.
