About
Jooyeong Moon explores extinction, bodily and ecological metamorphosis, and the shifting boundary between technology and life. Trained in animal science and completing an MA in Art & Ecology, she combines field research, participatory projects, poetic writing, and experimental moving-image to construct fictional narratives. Rooted in emotional and philosophical reflection, her works re-imagine humanity’s entanglement with the more-than-human world.
Voices of the Imagined Islands: EvanescentSusurrus
Voices of the Imagined Islands: EvanescentSusurrus is a three-channel video (4’16”) and multi-material installation, featuring a wooden island sculpture with mirror fragments and lights, and a wooden panel pierced with forms inspired by island microbes. An experimental dialogue unfolds on EvanescentSusurrus, a fictional island shaped by fragments from the Spanish islands. The work explores the island as a threshold between isolation and connection, presence and disappearance. Scattered voices—like stars forming a constellation—create a quiet refuge for beings suspended between presence and absence. What makes an island? Paradoxically, it is the surrounding water that completes it. The island is defined not by what lies within, but by what lies outside. Tracing its edges, I imagine myself turning into water. The island feels like a delicate life held within me, like a fetus resting in the sea. Perhaps the island is never isolated, but deeply entangled with the sea. When sea and island reflect, absorb, and dissolve into one another, they become a space where opposites coexist—birth and death, solitude and connection, drifting and anchoring. From this symbolic interplay emerges EvanescentSusurrus, a refuge between presence and disappearance. Over a month, I visited Spanish islands, gathering voices, dreams, images, and sounds. Islanders shared secrets and imagined the island as a living being, or envisioned becoming nonhuman. People encounter these fragments shaped by water and form their own constellations. Like drifting lands breathing with the sea, may we each become a quiet fragment, gently moving through the world.
