Key Works

Jin-me Yoon’s early works take on Vancouver photo-conceptualism and transform it into a vehicle for challenging the construction of Canada’s national narratives. She later connected her critical perspectives on Canada to larger narratives of colonialism, exploitation, and extraction, focusing in particular on the difficult histories that she inherited from the country of her birth, Korea. Ultimately, her stirring art combines video, performance, and social practice to reimagine our relationships to each other and to the planet in order to build more hopeful futures.
