Hye Joo Jun majored in Art and Media at Berlin University of the Arts and received her Master’s degree and Meisterschuler qualification. Jun creates audiovisual media work using various found objects, images, and sounds. Her interest in the transversality and circularity of ecosystems draws her to examine the materials that drive them, namely the microscopic particles that exist in the air we breathe regularly. Through media renderings and manipulations, she visualizes this ecological footprint by converting natural and artificial particles into forms of lights and waves.

   Recent solo exhibitions include All-Over (Oil Tank Culture Park, Seoul, 2022), Body Check (PS333 Geumcheon Art Space, Seoul, 2020), Whirl (Space CAN, Seoul, 2019). And she was included in various group exhibitions as 15th Gwangju Biennale Pansori, a soundscape of the 21st century (Gwangju Biennale Exhibition Hall, Gwangju, 2024), SeMA Omnibus (Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, 2024), Jumping Frames - Hong Kong International Movement-image Festival (Tomorrow Maybe, Hong Kong, 2022), ARKO Art & Tech Festival - Nothing Makes Itself (ARKO Art Center, Seoul, 2021). And Jun is the winner of the 22nd SONGEUN Art Award (2022) and participated in Jan van Eyck Academie Residency (Maastricht, Netherlands, 2022-2023).
