Jiyoung Wi is a musician and fiction writer based in The Hague and Seoul. Her multidisciplinary practice explores narrative possibilities in non-image-based mediums. She has developed a series of ‘sound fiction’ works focusing on the tentative reciprocity between sound and text. As an improviser, she engages in acoustic phenomena as an arena where she dramatizes time perception. Within her untrained, risk-taking gestures, her self-punitive contemplation confronts the thresholds of sonic possessed rituals.
She has performed at prestigious venues including Volksbühne (Germany), Les Siestes Festival (France), The Grey Space in the Middle (Netherlands), Worm (Netherlands), Soto (Japan), and The Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (Belgium), among others. She has also contributed as a sound producer in exhibitions and performances held at the Sharjah Biennial (UAE), the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Gwacheon (KR), SeMA (KR), Ilmin Museum of Art (KR), Oil Tank Culture Park (KR), and Leeum Museum of Art (KR).
