Jin-me Yoon

Jin-me Yoon is a Korea-born, Vancouver-based artist whose work explores the entangled relations of tourism, militarism and colonialism. Since the early ’90s, she has used photography, video and performance to situate her personal experience of migration in relation to unfolding historical, political and ecological conditions. Through experimental cinematography and the performative gestures of family, friends and community members, Yoon reconnects repressed pasts with damaged presents, creating the conditions for different futures. Staging her work in charged landscapes, Yoon finds specific points of reference across multiple geopolitical contexts. In so doing, she brings worlds together, affirming the value of difference.
