CV:
Minhye Chu lives in Leipzig, Germany.
After studying media art (in Leipzig and Copenhagen), she works as a visual artist. Her works include videos, installations and sculptures. In many of her works, she explores dramaturgies of constructive processes, e.g. through repetitions, optical apparatuses and machines. For several years now, she has been intensively involved with construction processes in architecture. She is concerned with sociological questions such as the role of work, methods of division of labor and routines. It is often about the interface between human and non-human actors in constructive processes. The non-human here means not only robots, machines and tools, but also the materials and elements themselves.
