Park Ji Yun
artist / doctoral researcher
Ji Yun works with illustration, photography, craft and film to learn from more-than-humans and deconstruct species hierarchies. After moving to Hong Kong, she has been exploring the multispecies ecosphere through artistic practices based on urban ecology, critical plant studies, and ecofeminism. She is currently making an ecocinema piece ‘(Welcome to) the Planet of Orchids’ with native orchids of Hong Kong for her Doctoral research project. In this film, orchid protagonists are the indigenous beings who have been surviving under human colonisation.
She is now finalising her doctoral research at the Zurich University of the Art as a visiting PhD candidate. She obtained her bachelor’s degree from the Korea National University of the Arts, and her master’s degree from the City University of Hong Kong. Her works have been exhibited in Seoul, Hong Kong, Zurich and Online.
