Yeon Sung (연성) is a decolonial artist-researcher based in both The Netherlands and South Korea.
 Being a traumatized generation of colonialism, she takes on a decolonial position: weaving the untold colonial narratives of non-human matters as transversal human agencies, transcending time and territories.

As a transboundary practitioner having an educational background in industrial engineering and graphic design, her practice traverses disciplinary boundaries: filmmaking, writing, and prototyping in accordance with methods based on chemistry, physics, and environmental science.



Her practice-based research “The Matter Trilogy,” spans three selected non-human matters (Copper, Dust, T.B.D.) and their Critical Materialities. The project attempts to demonstrate how to unravel the intertwined arguments within the non-human matter from the colonial past to the technological catastrophe in the present day.
