Darae Baek (b. 1989 in South Korea)
Lives and works in UK and South Korea daraebaek@gmail.com @daraebaek Darae Baek is a video installation artist based in South Korea and the UK. Baek graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2016 and finished her Master of Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art in 2019. Baek has participated in film festivals and exhibitions both nationally and internationally in the UK, Sweden, Spain, Iceland, Japan and Thailand among others, including presenting The Unsettled Dust at the Asian Film Festival. Featuring herself as the protagonist of her films, Baek’s practice explores the possibility of recalling familiar fragrances and memories from unfamiliar places. In a moment of past reverberation, an unfamiliar ‘new place’ could be absorbed by nostalgia. Enlightened by these experiences, Baek’s film practice is an attempt to investigate her position in a foreign environment in relation to her personal memories. |
