Lee Yun (b. 1998, Taiwan) is a media artist whose work explores the translation of figures and gestures in moving images to interrogate time, memory, and identity. Using film, video, installation, and real-time audiovisual systems, Yun examines how gestures are preserved, fractured, and reconfigured across temporal, cultural, and spatial landscapes.
Cultural depiction in Yun’s practice is fluid, shaped by traces, reflections, and ephemeral presences. Drawing from phenomenology and postcolonial discourse, they explore moving images as both personal and collective memory, questioning the authority of representation and embracing the ambiguities of identity.
Rooted in an expanded approach to editing, Yun treats cuts as rhythmic disruptions and images as spectral artifacts, dissolving linear time to reconstruct figures in a state of flux. Through a poetic lens, Yun’s work reimagines time as echoes and disruptions, constructing spaces where figures exist in perpetual translation, unbound from the structures that seek to define them.
