Jaha Koo is the artist behind Haribo Kimchi, whose Japanese premiere will be held at the festival, marking the first time one of his works is performed in the country. In this talk, Koo will discuss how he created this work, which is themed around “food”—a mirror that reflects social identities and structures. He will describe in his own words his unique methodology, which blends personal and political histories while mixing music, video, and other media. Koo will also talk about creating works while reflecting on imperialism in East Asia, and the starting point for his activity. Enjoy this fascinating talk—and performance.
