Bomi Yook is a Korean-Canadian media artist based in Moh'kinstsis / Calgary, working with immersive media, experimental animation, and video performance. Her work explores hybridity within identity, cultural landscapes, and knowledge systems, often drawing on the collective memory of the Korean diaspora, with its complex ties to immigration and colonization. 

Navigating the nuances of belonging to multiple cultural frameworks, Yook’s practice reflects on the paradoxical nature of identity, emphasizing its instability and intersubjectivity. Exploring the ecologies of Trace—of the Other and Otherness within the self—her works reveal identity and ideologies as inter-constitutive, seeing the world as a paradoxical blend of contexts rather than distinct, isolated definitions. 

Through her experimental, interdisciplinary, and process-based approaches to cultural and historical inquiries, Yook’s practice confronts the violence and paradox inherent within identity formation, and its neverending pursuit for self-certainty.
