Sora Park(b.1992), an installation artist based in Seoul, grounds her work in the discipline of sculpture. She studied painting at Dongguk University and Seoul National University before earning her MFA at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.
The artist's interests lie in the social issues that emerge within the realm of contemporary digital media, within arenas such as social media and the metaverse. She pays particular attention to phenomena intensified and spotlighted by advancements in science and technology. Her recent projects involve conceptualizing the possible scenarios, characters, or products that may arise in a future world where current social issues have become more intensified. She visualizes such concerns through various media, including sculpture, video, and installation. Notably, in works combining digital manufacturing techniques powered by 3D technology with traditional way of making, Park's fascination with wearable devices and digital clothing plays a pivotal role in her practice.
Selected as one of the artists for Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2021, Park has been actively exhibiting her works in solo and group exhibitions both domestically and internationally. Recent solo exhibitions include Connect-Disconnect-Reconnect at Daegu Art Factory (2021), Soft Prologue at 523KunstDoc (2022), Item Inventory at Suseong Artpia (2021), and Dark Closet at Keep in Touch Seoul (2022). In addition, she has participated in numerous group exhibitions at venues such as the South London Gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts, Seoul Art Space Mullae, Eulji Art Center (Seoul), Soorim Cultural Foundation’s Kim Huisu Art Center (Seoul), Firstsite (Colchester, UK), and the Saatchi Gallery.
