ELLIE KYUNGRAN HEO (Coreia do Sul, 1976) is an artist and filmmaker. Her experimental films are collages of performance records and excerpts from documentaries, in which she pursues mutations in subject-object relationships, intimacy and conflict. She graduated in arts from the Chelsea College of Arts (2013) and in moving image from the Royal College of Art (2015). She has taken part in exhibitions and shows such as Dear Cinema, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (2018); Hamburg International Short Film Festival (2018); Aesthetica Short Film Festival, York, United Kingdom (2017); Did You Eat Rice?, Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, United Kingdom (2017); Sense of Place, Whitechapel Gallery, London (2016); and the Whistable Biennale, Kent, United Kingdom (2016), among others.
Located on the southernmost point of South Korea, a small island whose coastline can be fully covered in one hour receives hordes of tourists for a few hours to then fall into long periods of silence. The video ISLAND (2015) follows the daily life of the few local residents, recording their anguish, reflections and views on universal themes of the human condition.
