places; space, body, identity, and relationship
Misty Choi’s practice is grounded in the phenomenon that people, whether willingly or by force, move from one place to another and experience opacity and non-placement. After relocating to different cities in her 20s, Choi experienced cultural and physical dislocation that continues to inform her practice in displacement, misfit, and embodied resistance through sculpture and performance. She reorients everyday gestures and objects to challenge normative relationships between body, object, and space. Her works often invite humor, encouraging audiences to rethink control, conformity, and vulnerability through shared encounters.
