Minha Park is an image researcher and filmmaker based in Seoul. She earned her MFA from the California Institute of the Arts (US) in 2013 and was selected as an Art Council Korea fellow by Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin) in 2023 where she held her solo exhibition Shadow Planet (2023). Park’s films and video installations have been exhibited and screened at renowned venues, such as Lux Moving Image (UK), Archive Books (DE), National Museum of Modern & Contemporary Art Seoul (KR), Leeum Samsung Museum (KR), Seoul Museum of Art (KR), MoCA Busan (KR), Nam June Paik Art Center (KR), Doosan Gallery (KR), the 27th Images Festival (CA/ Vtape award), the 72nd Edinburgh International Film Festival (UK/ Special Mention), the 56th Gijon International Film Festival (ES), etc.
Minha Park’s practice engages the genealogies of media and the politics of images, exploring how media technologies shape our world and produce sensory illusions. Her work, which spans experimental documentaries, video installations, concerts, and publications, decodes images and dissects the institutional knowledge and colonial gaze embedded in the macro visual system. Her poetic and magical documentaries focus on capturing and critically examining the phenomenon of media parasitizing on places or objects to create fantasy.
