Jongbin Park and Jae-Pyung Park are an interdisciplinary artist duo based in Berlin and Seoul, working together since 2009. Their collaborative practice spans site-specific performance, media installation, film, and video, engaging with the layered intersections of identity, space, and sociopolitical systems. Through research-driven and media-experimental approaches, they explore themes of migration, belonging, and transformation, particularly within diasporic and transnational contexts. Working in overlooked or transitional urban spaces, they use performance to reframe erased or invisible narratives. Since 2020, they have been developing the long-term project Lost Theater, where they explore how performativity can expand the spatial and narrative potential beyond conventional theatrical conditions.
Jongbin studied theatre directing in Seoul and completed her MA in Spatial Strategies at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin, focusing on research-based and performative approaches to diaspora and belonging.
Jae-Pyung studied film, multimedia, and visual arts in Seoul, and works primarily with video and image-based media to investigate how social structures are constructed, perceived, and experienced through processes of visual fragmentation and reassembly.
