Heejoon June Yoon
is a multidisciplinary artist. Yoon’s research uncovers the ecology of absurdity and latent violence within
the anthropocentric culture and contemporary society
. Her recent work revolves around web-culture and feminist narratives through building immersive audiovisual environment as a
storytelling platform.
Through various forms of storytelling, Yoon has been exploring the
cycle of perception/ framing/ indoctrination of normality while questioning the
ridiculousness/hypocrisy found in this circulation. She designs a set of unsettling audio/visual tropes and devices in various mediums, where viewers can come across with an unexpected experience of
monstrosity of reality.
Yoon earned her BFA in Painting at Seoul National University and her MFA in Digital + Media at Rhode Island School of Design. Her films and other works have been presented internationally at such venues as the Montreal World Film Festival; in Boston at Boston Cyberarts and Shelter-In-Place gallery; in Gimpo at CICA Museum; in Seoul at Wooseok Gallery, Space 413 and White Noise; and in digital platforms at Foundation.app and the Wrong Biennale.

...
From her panoply of developed, poetic, moving installations, to her crafting of an original
myth, to her push of her video and installation work, to her light-object screens, to her daring,
shocking character narratives, June enacts critique and shows how it can live. In each wave of
work, she has brought her viewers inside the logic, mechanics, and flattening of misogyny and
systemic oppression as it enacts itself online.
