“...while watching Ms. Choi’s hallucinatory screen, you may find yourself in an altered state of consciousness, on the verge of some ineffable, transcendental revelation.” - The New York Times.

Jung Hee Choi is an artist and musician who works in video, performance, sound and multi-media installations, known for creating a state of immersion that emphasizes the totality of sense perception as a single unit for her viewers. In the process of assessing and defining the nature of reality, Choi’s inquiry focuses on how we perceive being and consciousness, and how ideas representing the interaction of opposites intertwine with one another.

Choi’s solo exhibition Black: Trans: Maya: Light at the Korea Society focuses on her series of light point drawings, graphite drawings, and etchings. Utilizing both traditional and experimental techniques, Choi presents mesmerizing images that capture and transfigure light.

Choi has exhibited and performed widely in the U.S., Europe and Asia, including Dia Art Foundation, Guggenheim Museum, Berliner Festspeile, and FRESH Festival in Bangkok. Choi received her B. A. and M.A. in art and sound from New York University, and she is a disciple of La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela in the classical Kirana vocal tradition.
