Céline Minkyung Park is a critical designer and the founder of Céline Park Studio, Céline Park Gallery and Eyelove Art Center in Seoul, South Korea. She constantly moves to Europe from Korea to deveop her work in progress and to exhibit them.
As a Korean she was raised and educated in France, Canada, and the United States. After achieving her MA degree at Royal College of Art in the design interactions programme, she has exhibited her work at the V&A museum in London, Busan International Short Film Festival in Busan and a few more places.
Throughout her previous years as a designer, she has used multiple methodologies. She obtained a graphic design, film, photography, and fine art background. And therefore, she drew on these experiences to suit the specific subjects in her work. She interrogates perceptions of cultural and social constructs that exist in society. In most circumstances, she creates speculative scenarios around social hierarchy to explore individual experiences that people go through. The scenarios that she creates are usually polarised dystopian or utopian ones and can sit in the future, the past as a counterfactual scenario or the present. An underlying objective of her projects is to remind people that culture can unconsciously manipulate us and that it is always important to look through all the layers of a subject.
Céline Park Studio encourage and invite experts from diverse backgrounds to work collaboratively through design. We mainly use design fiction and speculative design proposals to challenge assumptons, and to create art concepts by reinterpreting a certain time period or events. The studio is located at Apgujeongro 32, 30 gil, Gangnam in Seoul, South Korea.
