Yun Hyejeong is an artist based in Berlin. Her work explores societal dynamics within hegemonic power structures through personal narratives. She analyzes social structures, creates allegorical connections, and deconstructs colonial myths through moving images, installations, and performances. Yun‘s practice engages her body, voice, language, and poetry to map political landscapes, focusing on intersectional identities, decolonization, and the collective memories of migration.
She is the founder of Heisse Maroni and a member of the Asian Feminist Studio for Art and Research (AFSAR)

Her work has been featured at international festivals, including the Asian American International Film Festival, New York City; European Media Art Festival, Osnabrück; Bali International Film Festival, Bali; Experimental Film and Video Festival, Seoul; and Film Festival for Women‘s rights, Seoul.
