Korean artist Geumhyung Jeong makes her Seattle debut with two beautifully strange, sensual, and compelling works centered on the human body and inanimate objects. How can a body or an object be transformed by desire, fantasy, and possibility? Physicality mixes uneasily with machinery in games of tenderness, risk, and sex featuring a CPR dummy and an excavator. Is this love?

Born in 1980 in Seoul, South Korea, Geumhyung Jeong studied theater at Hoseo University, Cheonan, dance and performance at the Korean National University of Arts, and animation film at the Korean Academy of Film Arts. She is a choreographer, dancer and performer who constantly re-negotiates the relationship between the human body and the objects that surround it. She uses everyday objects upon which she bestows a bizarre, disconcerting life through an intense and risky interaction with her own body. Her projects combine dance, puppetry, and bring attention to technical aspects of theater.
