Soojin Chang works in a process of trance, dissociation, feedback, and self-recognition to create performances that dissolve personhood and objecthood through animist methodologies. Their works take the form of video, live performance, ritual practice and field research. Using her body as technology to transmute in/visibility, Chang’s practice negotiates contemporary ethics, colonial inheritance, and queer, interspecies reliance. Current and recent interventions include:
Dog Eggs at Asia Culture Center, Gwangju (2022);
BXBY, commissioned for the Jerwood/FVU Awards 2022;
a heifer would be needed for the sacrifice at Tramway for Take Me Somewhere (2021);
State of Possession at the ICA and CCA Glasgow (2019);
Death Ritual at Sa Sa Art Projects, Phnom Penh (2019); and
Hair Eggs at MoMA PS1 (2018).
