Hiiona Choi
Beaux-Arts de Paris diploma. In their work Choi explores the fractures of queer subjectivity
through a lens of intentional dissonance. This dissonance operates within ‘found’ or
‘previously owned’ materials—such as found objects and appropriated imagery—which the
artist treats as archives of accumulated affect. Choi perceives their sculptural practice as a
living process, synthesizing private and recorded histories: the sense of ‘insurmountability’
experienced through the body, narratives of gender transition, the history of cross-dressing,
idealized feminine figures in media, and derelict spaces or systems.
