Jin-me Yoon

Jin-me Yoon is an important Canadian lens-based artist who has been working steadily since emerging on Vancouvers contemporary art scene in the 1990s. About Time' focuses on Yoons monumental and multifaceted production of the last decade, which typically combines photography, video, performance and installation.' In these layered works, Yoon continues to address the subject matter of diasporic experience, colonialism, imperialism and militarism, but with a politicized awareness of what it means to live and work as a diasporic artist on land stolen from Indigenous peoples. Characterized by a restrained poetic style, use of slowness and repetition, and sensory use of sound, Yoons recent corpus is undergirded by a strong environmentalist thrust. Recurring tropes include cinematic tableaux of individuals integrated within the Pacific West Coasts stunning natural landscapes.
