[1] Anne Duk Hee Jordan, an orphan from Korea, was adopted by a German couple at the age of four, and grew up in a small village in West Germany.
Disappointed by the program after several of her professors left the school, she joined Olafur Eliason’s Institute for Spatial Experience in 2012 as a master student.
Her work often speaks of issues of migration, identity, and social spaces, using natural or biological processes as metaphors.
She uses both living and dead materials, at times constructing machines that can mirror organisms, and creates a dialogue between art and science, her identity and social systems.
[1] Anne Duk Hee Jordan was featured in Sculpture magazine (July/August 2019 issue),[5] and was interviewed in Collectors Agenda by Chrischa Oswald.
