Tiffany Jaeyeon Shin explores the porousness of bodily boundaries and the ceaseless movement of living processes, like fermentation, echoing the history of colonialism. Shin is interested in the history of conquest and the literal digestion of materials – smells, microbes, and food – as a system of relations that emerges from a complicated history of entanglement. Shin explores how the living body is not only an ecology reproduced by constituent forces - affects, molecules, microbes, animacies, tissues, cells, energies, and other particles - but also an assemblage crosscut by technological, economic, and environmental forces that render the body vulnerable as they reproduce its conditions of possibility. Maintaining a practice focused on queer sociality and sensorial ecology, previous collaborators include scientists, microbiologists, SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), fungal spores, fermented proteins, indigenous mold microorganism, leaf mold, and other organic membranes. tiffanyjaeyeonshin @ gmail . com CV
