Sojung Jun's art transforms how we experience time—not through abstract theory, but by fundamentally changing how our bodies move through space. The Seoul-based artist, born in Busan in 1982, draws on her background in sculpture and media arts to explore how time doesn't always move forward in a straight line. What makes her approach remarkable is how physically grounded it remains, even as it opens up new ways of understanding chronology. Jun's recent work with text and publishing extends this sensory exploration further. At the heart of her practice is a focus on migrant workers, adoptees, refugees, and the visually impaired. But Jun isn't simply making art about marginalized communities—she's fundamentally restructuring who gets to participate in the very architecture of perception. Her art asks not only who gets to see, but also who gets to be seen and felt.

Jun has been the subject of several solo exhibitions, including those at the Leeum Museum of Art, Seoul (2022); Atelier Hermès, Seoul (2020); SongEun Art and Cultural Foundation, Seoul (2017); and the Centre Européen d’Actions Artistiques Contemporaines, Strasbourg, France (2010), among others. Her work has also been featured in notable group exhibitions, including the 11th and 12th Gwangju Biennale, Gwangju (2018, 2016). Additional group exhibitions include the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (2023, 2022, 2021); Daegu Art Museum, Daegu, South Korea (2023); Sharjah Art Foundation, UAE (2023); Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg, Germany (2022); The National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan (2022); Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland (2021); Nam June Paik Art Center, Yongin, South Korea (2021); and Ottawa Art Gallery, Ottawa, Canada (2020), among others.

Jun is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the Hermès Foundation Missulsang (2020), the Villa Vassilieff Pernod Ricard Fellowship, Paris, France (2016), and the Noon Art Prize, Gwangju Biennale (2016). She earned her BFA in Sculpture from Seoul National University and her MFA in Media Art from the Graduate School of Communication and Arts at Yonsei University.
