Anne Duk Hee Jordan

Ann Duk Hee Jordan is a Korean-German artist born in 1978. With previous careers spanning freediving and occupational therapy, they pursued a BA at the Weissensee Kunsthochschule in Berlin in 2009, then completed their MA at Olafur Eliasson’s Institute for Spatial Experiments in 2012. Transience, transformation, and ecology are central themes in their work. Their practice includes drawings, hand-built robots, edible landscapes, sculpture, public art, film and sound. 

Their sculptures are intended to draw the viewer into the present and open a dialogue between natural phenomena, philosophy and art. Often created in collaboration with scientists, marine biologists and ecologists, they ask questions that encourage a change of perspective, shifting the focus away from humans towards the entire ecology.
