HYEJI NAM
2025
MANSHIN investigates the complexity of identity transformation in the post-digital age. Powered by the synergy of visual and virtual ambiguity, Korean artist Hyeji Nam blends bodies, sound, and immersive atmospheres to lead audiences through shifting states of being
and consciousness. Drawing on the ceremonial structure of Korean shamanic rituals, the tool of digital media and AI, and the expansion of Korean mythic motifs into virtual space, Hyeji Nam builds a bridge between tradition and modernity—meditating on memory, presence, loss,
and belonging at the crossroads of music, performance, and visual art.
