Sohyun Alix Yoon is an artist who navigates forms, images, and sounds, both individually and holistically. Throughout her practice, Yoon has engaged in media installations using photography and video, crafted short films, created kinetic sculptures, as well as designed furniture and objects. In Yoon’s world, forms, images, and sounds are manipulated within structures that dismantle conventional notions and encourage iterative reproduction.
Central to Yoon's artistic inquiry is the documentation and preservation of contemporary societal artifacts, particularly those considered redundant or surplus. Through methodologies rooted in deconstruction, enumeration, and repetition, she delves deep into the underlying significances embedded within human-made constructs, unraveling layers of meaning and interpretation.
Born and raised in Seoul, Yoon graduated with a degree in French literature. Following this, she pursued experimental work on interactions between space and village communities before relocating to Montreal. Subsequently, she made the decision to attend art school and is currently enrolled at OCAD University in Toronto. Yoon is acclaimed for her interactive face collage installations showcased at the university.
Sohyun Alix Yoon currently lives and works in Toronto.
