Daewon Yun explores how the contemporary body is perceived and how it forms relationships by combining performance with media technologies. Grounded in his interest in “dance” and “action,” Yun has continuously examined shifting concepts of the body and structures of sensation as they are transformed within media environments.
 
His practice primarily encompasses video, interactive works, and performance, through which he translates contemporary phenomena generated by digital media and their underlying emotions into embodied images.
 
Daewon Yun’s practice has consistently explored a range of physical and non-physical movements centered on the body. Through this process, the artist engages with the rapidly changing conditions of the digital age, modes of forming relationships within them, and the bodily senses that respond to and are transformed by these environments. Yun’s work ultimately poses ontological questions about our contemporary attitudes toward the body and the ways in which we perceive and understand it today.
