Kevin Park Jung-Hoo is a Korean-Canadian filmmaker and visual artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. His work reflects his experiences navigating multiple cultures, having grown up in Canada, spent his adolescence in Korea, and returned to Canada as an adult. Exploring themes of migration, identity, and home, Park uses film, video, photography, and performance to question how individuals reconstruct perceptions of time and space.
Park’s recent work critically examines the socio-political and ontological dimensions of the Image, inspired by his late grandmother’s words: “In the past, people feared the camera, believing it took part of their soul.” This reflection fuels his exploration of the Image as both a colonial tool and a vessel for memory. By engaging with the power dynamics of image-making, Park imagines a diasporic aesthetic that reclaims meaning, inviting viewers to reconsider how images shape personal and collective identity.
