On Becoming junos

Joonhee Myung (aka junos) is a photographer, writer, video artist and illustrator based between Seoul and Santiago. Her work traces the poetics of urban ecology, migration, and memory, often through birds, water, and vanishing architectural motifs. With a quiet, observational approach rooted in diaspora and environmental reflection, she weaves together hand-drawn illustration, photographic archives, video, text and sound to document overlooked scenes along the edges of the city.

​

Her 2024 solo exhibition Leaves of Home explored ecological imagination in the era of climate crisis. The Nomadic Fluidity Series first presented then has been shown internationally and won awards, including in Culterate magazine, Hindsight Journal, Women Alternative Photo Group (UK), Ahmedabad Cultural Week (India), Abstract Magazine and the upcoming Issue 64 of Columbia Journal. The same year, she was invited to participate in the climate action group show hosted by the British Embassy and TEDxSeoul, in collaboration with SPRINTS.

Her short video work Intentionally Left Blank (Sin Título) was screened by VisualContainerTV in Italy and received the Audience Award at the Pebbles Underground Film & Video Art Festival in Canada. The accompanying short story by the same title has also been featured in several international literary magazines around the world. Her images have been featured or selected as cover art in publications such as Culterate, Superpresent, Mixtape Review, Hindsight Journal, The Branches, and Abstract Magazine.
