Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo

Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo is an American artist based in Berlin. She studied with TJ Demos at the Maryland Institute College of Art and later at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland.

Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo

The core of D'Angelo's work addresses fear, vulnerability, and what is therefore invisible through video, neon, installations, and sculptures. Drawing on personal narratives, experience, and memory, she explores obscene behaviors and precarious conditions, attempting to redefine what is normal by embracing difference as a source of inspiration and empowerment. This approach aims to discover new means of acceptance and, ultimately, healing.
