Jane Jin Kaisen (b. 1980) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Copenhagen. Born on Jeju Island, South Korea, and adopted to Denmark the same year, she centers much of her work on her birthplace, the site of a yearlong anticolonial uprising in 1948. Her practice spans video installation, experimental film, photography, performance and text, informed by interdisciplinary research and collaboration with diverse communities. She holds a PhD from the University of Copenhagen and an MA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where she was a professor at the School of Media Arts from 2020 to 2026.
