minjue (b.1997, KR) (She/Her) is a Seoul-born, Amsterdam-based photographic artist.
She creates fictional narratives from historical facts, building images as one might write a novel. By following individuals within communities, her work questions what allows a society to become safe and stable, and how personal and collective histories shape the worlds we live in.
Her practice is driven by close observation of communities and the individuals within them, grounded in a belief in each person’s ability to shape their surroundings. Through photography, she explores both the structures and the fringes of society by examining historical narratives and the relationships individuals form within their communities. Her work aims not only to produce visual outcomes but also to use the creative process as a means of questioning and reflecting on the contradictions and complexities of contemporary life.
She holds a BA in Photography from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (NL) and an AD in Photographic Art from Kaywon University of Art and Design (KR).
