박종빈과 박재평은 베를린과 서울을 기반으로 활동하는 다원예술가 듀오로, 공공장소와 디지털 공간에 개입하는 장소 특정적 퍼포먼스와 미디어 설치, 그리고 가상과 실재, 실험적 관점이 교차하는 영화 작업을 하고 있다. 그들의 협업은 도시 공간의 다층적 내러티브를 탐구하며, 개인과 사회적, 정치적 맥락 사이의 관계에 중점을 둔다. 이 과정에서 다양한 미디어를 해체하고 재구성하여 새로운 예술적 실험을 시도한다. 또한 2021년부터 시작된 프로젝트 ‘Lost Theater (잃어버린 극장)’을 통해 공연성의 공간적, 서사적 확장 가능성을 실험하고 있다.
Jongbin Park and Jae-Pyung Park are a multidisciplinary artist duo based in Berlin and Seoul, engaging in site-specific performances and media installations that intervene in public and digital spaces, as well as film works that intersect virtuality, reality, and experimental perspectives. Their collaboration explores the multilayered narratives of urban spaces, focusing on the relationship between the individual and socio-political contexts. In this process, they deconstruct and reconstruct various media to attempt new artistic experiments. Additionally, through their ongoing project, “Lost Theater,” which began in 2021, they experiment with the spatial and narrative possibilities of performativity.
They question the conventional boundaries of performance and visual media, developing artistic works that reveal their insights into social hierarchies and power relations in different cultural contexts. Their research process reflects societal discourses and media influences on the individual, leading to complex narrative structures. Their ongoing project, “Lost Theater,” extends the concept of performativity beyond traditional theatrical spaces, delving into the spatial and narrative layers that arise from urban environments.
Jongbin Park studied Theater Direction at CAU Seoul and completed her Master’s degree in Spatial Strategies at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin under Prof. Pauline Doutreluingne and Prof. Dr. Marianna Liosi. She has received several scholarships, including the Mart Stam Scholarship.
Jae-Pyung Park studied Film, TV & Multimedia (1st Major) and Fine Arts (2nd Major) at SKKU Seoul, was a guest student in Fine Arts with Heike Gallmeier at UdK Berlin, and is currently working as a filmmaker and media artist.
With support from the Korea Arts Council and the Seoul Arts Foundation for Interdisciplinary Arts, they presented site-specific theatrical performances in various abandoned locations in Seoul and media performances at the Arko Art Center. Their films have been invited to various film festivals in Seoul, and their first feature film, “Long Nights” (2015), was screened at the Seoul Cinematheque as part of a showcase of new independent Korean films.
