Living Here

Jisoo Chung is a multimedia artist who uses video, installation, drawings, and performance to track the sociocultural power in language and names. A search for the loss of identity evoked by linguistic failures is where her works begin. Her recent film, Miss Kim Lilac (2023-24), won the Jungwoon Award from the Seoul Experimental Film and Video Festival. She has presented her work internationally in Europe and Asia as well as the United States. Chung holds an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a BFA from Seoul National University. She has been a production committee member of the Los Angeles-based diasporic Korean artist collective, GYOPO.
