Kyuri Jeon is a South Korean artist and filmmaker based in New York who works with video, essay, drawing and installation to explore time, vision and their implications for the future. Through the lens of intersectionality, she questions transnational discussions of identity, feminism, decolonization and cultural translation. Her work has been featured at KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art in Berlin, MassArt Art Museum in Boston, Mimosa House in London, Konsthall C in Stockholm, the Artists' Moving Image Festival in Glasgow and the DMZ International Documentary Film Festival. She received a Contemporary Visual Art Award from the AHL-T&W Foundation and was a 2025 MacDowell Fellow. REDCAT's exhibition "Flesh Witness" takes its title from her video "The Flesh-Witness" (2021), which revisits American archival documentation of Korean War prisoners forcibly tattooed with anti-communist slogans.
