韓　成南（HAN Sung Nam）

1980 Kobe, Japan (Korean living in Japan)
Audio Visual Artist and Director of the Interdisciplinary Art Festival Tokyo, Sung Nam Han makes works with a semiological approach to languages, colors, sounds and images and often employs abrupt visual effects.
The director of Interdisciplinary Art Festival Tokyo (IAFT), Interdisciplinary Art Project Kobe (IAPK), and Art in Country of Tokyo (AICOT), Sung Nam HAN ruminates on the nature of “videowatching”, through which she produces a wide variety of works. Her artworks varies from interactive art installations using blue-screen keying to wearable / pocketable video works utilizing smartphones, small cameras or monitors. She has also produced AR works and art performances that combine video, play and dance based on the concept “Super Linear”. Many works have been shown at domestic and international film festivals such as Tampere Film Festival 2019, 32nd Image Forum Festival 2018 [Award of Excellence], Experimental Film and Video Festival in Seoul, Seoul New Media Festival [Media Artist Prize], Lausanne Underground Film and Music Festival, International Short Film Festival Detmold; acted as the opening performance for Asia Anarchy Alliance at Tokyo wonder site; exhibited at MORI YU GALLERY, Asia Culture Center Creation in Gwangju, and more.
