서혜인 Hyein Seo

Bio

Hyein Seo, born in Seoul, explores conceptual work through photography. Grounded in reality yet driven by utopian imagination, her practice centers on self-portraiture to convey personal narratives and reflect on the conflicts of identity in contemporary society. She expands private experiences into a social context, capturing traces of belief, hope, and love within an imperfect reality.

서혜인은 현실에서 출발한 유토피아적 상상을 바탕으로 사진 매체를 통해 개념적인 작업을 이어오고 있다. 셀프 포트레이트를 중심으로 이야기를 풀어내며, 현대 사회에서 마주하는 다양한 정체성의 충돌에 대한 고민을 담는다. 사적인 경험을 사회적 맥락으로 확장하며, 불완전한 현실 속에서 드러나는 믿음과 소망, 사랑의 흔적을 포착한다.
