Jang Minseung
Artist, film maker
1979 Born in Seoul. Lives and works in Seoul, Korea

Jang Minseung majored in sculpture in university, and has worked as a furniture designer, a photographer and a music producer for more than 20 commercial films. With the experience of working with diverse media, Jang entered contemporary art with his style of combining snippets of reality confronted by people and arranging it in self-restraint and metaphorical manner and won the Hermès Foundation Art Award in 2014. With his interests encompassing various fields, Jang collaborates with artists of various specialties and focuses on producing an artwork where the audience can have a comprehensive and immersive experience. His first film Ipseok Bugeun(2016), homonymous with the 1962 novella by Hwang Sok-yong – a leading author in Korean literature – is the cinematographic adaptation of the latter in an audio-visual language. Ipsuk Bugeun has been acclaimed as a piece that found its cinematographic niche. In 2018 Jang showcased his second film Over There, his exploration of Jeju-do island from deep waters to high mountains.
