Dreaming in a Different Time Zone

After the market, Saturday 20 July at 12:30 pm a new scholarship holder will introduce herself.

Eunju Hong (b. 1993) will talk about her over 24hours journey from Taiwan to Eckernförde, her personal and artistic experience about living and working as an artist in between three countries in one year. The reading performance will introduce her project in Taiwan and her plan for a new project.

Eunju Hong lives and works in Germany and Korea. Drawing on her research on the evolution of technology, she explores through video, installation, and performance how technology can be used as a metaphor to reveal personal history and emotional aspects such as memory, trauma, and fear. She interweaves fictional narratives through film, found footage, performance, and installation.

She graduated from Korea National University of Arts and studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München in the class of Julian Rosefeldt with the master scholarship from DAAD. She had a solo exhibition at Gallery 175 in 2022, and she participated in the numerous group exhibitions in Seoul, Berlin, Munich, Paris, and Tokyo. In 2024, she won the Media Art Prize of the Kunststiftung Ingvild und Stephan Goetz, and she participated in the residency at Treasure Hill Artist Village in Taipei, Taiwan.

Admission is free.
