HYEJI NAM
2025
MANSHIN explores the complexity of identity transformation in the post-digital age. Driven by a synergy of visual and virtual ambiguity, Korean artist Hyeji Nam, in her performance, entwines bodies, sound and immersive atmospheres to create a journey that explores diverse states of being and consciousness. Inspired by the ceremonial structures of Korean shaman rituals as well as digital media and AI, Hyeji Nam builds a bridge between tradition and modernity, meditating on memory, presence, loss and sense of belonging at the intersection of music, performance and visual art.
