Hyeyeon Chung is a South Korean artist whose work moves between memory, perception, and place. She studied traditional Korean painting in Seoul before completing her master’s in drawing at the University of the Arts London. Living and working across Korea, Ireland, the UK, and now Germany has shaped her perspective as both an artist and a diasporic subject, informing a practice that bridges cultural and spatial experiences.

Chung is interested in how landscapes carry memory, becoming both personal and collective spaces. Her works are not depictions of a single view but layered fields where fragments of experience, displacement, and imagination overlap. The material presence of ink, thread, and textile suggests time and touch, while her use of optical tension and abstraction unsettles what first appears familiar.

At GlogauAIR, she develops a project exploring memory and perception through layered gestures, considering how personal and collective experiences intersect. She extends this into participatory contexts, engaging others in creating a dialogue and reflection. By combining drawing, embroidery, textile, and moments of shared experience, Chung investigates how fragile traces of presence can become threads connecting across space, time, and culture, inviting viewers to encounter the subtle tensions between presence and absence, intimacy and distance in spaces that unfold slowly and thoughtfully.
