Geumhyung Jeong is an artist whose practice centres the relationship between the human body and the objects that surround it. With work that bridges performance, dance, choreography, puppet theatre, video, and installation, Jeong blurs the line between animate and inanimate. Jeong studied Acting at Hoseo University in Asan (South Korea), Dance and Performance at the Korean National University of Arts, and Film Animation at the Korean Academy of Film Arts (both in Seoul). She has participated in international performance art festivals, including recently at Holland Festival, Amsterdam (2025); Transart Festival, Bolzano (2025); Asia TOPA, Melbourne (2017, 2025); and Theater Spektakel, Zurich (2012, 2014, 2017, 2019). Jeong has been part of a number of group exhibitions, including The Gatherers, MoMA PS1, New York (2025); The Milk of Dreams, The 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2022); and Copenhagen – Red Light Green Light (In the Realm of the Senses), Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2022). Jeong is based between Seoul and Bucheon, South Korea.
