Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo

Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo (born 1983 in Busan, South Korea) is an American artist based in Berlin. She studied under T. J. Demos at The Maryland Institute College of Art and later The Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow Poland. The core of D'Angelo's work confronts fear, vulnerability and what is thus invisible through video, neon, installation, and sculpture. Drawing on personal narratives, experience, and memory, she navigates lewd behaviors and precarious conditions and attempts to redefine what is normal while embracing difference as a source of inspiration and empowerment in order to discover new means of acceptance and ultimately, healing.
