CHAN SOOK CHOI

About
Chan Sook Choi is a Berlin- and Seoul-based artist and artistic researcher whose practice spans media, film, and installation. Her work engages displacement, memory, and migration, transforming overlooked voices into layered forms that connect the intimate with the geopolitical. Through images, sound, and text, she creates environments in which history is reconfigured with sensitivity and where fiction and documentary converge.

Selected solo exhibitions include Künstlerhaus Bremen (2025), the Berlinische Galerie IBB Video Space (2024), Art Sonje Center, Seoul (2017), and the Digital Art Center Taipei (2010). She has also participated in major group exhibitions at the Asia Culture Center, M+, and ZKM (2025), the Nam June Paik Art Center (2024), and the Seoul Mediacity Biennale (2023). Awards include the German Federal Kunstfond Visual Arts Fellowship (2021), the Korean Artist Prize, and the Korean Order of Cultural Merit (2022), among others.
