Mooni Perry
Mooni Perry（1990 年生于首尔）是一位现居柏林的视觉艺术家及电影创作者。她的创作聚焦于离散社群中的神圣性、女性的仪式实践，以及东亚及其他地区的本土宇宙观。
她的影像创作源于长期田野研究，探讨神话、民间信仰、女性的仪式实践以及被压抑的历史如何持续塑造当代生活。她的创作涵盖电影、装置与出版等媒介，追索故事、神祇与精神实践如何跨越地域边界、代际与政治体制不断流动。
她的最新影片《EL》（2025）于韩国国立现代美术馆展出，追溯了日本殖民统治时期迁往满洲的朝鲜女性被遗忘的生命经历。影片拍摄于中国东北原 “满洲国” 旧址之间，在梦境、档案残片与当代景观之间穿梭，探讨消逝、流离失所以及殖民暴力的遗绪。
她的装置与出版项目《失踪》（Missing，2024）源于对香港及华南地区女性道教社群的研究。项目结合影像、田野笔记、访谈与思辨性写作，以 “失踪的女性” 这一形象为线索，考察那些游离于传统家庭结构之外的女性，并由此追索另类的亲缘关系、信仰实践与归属形式。
她的最新双频道影像装置《神谕》（The Oracle, 2025）由 CHAT 六厂委约创作，历经三个月于香港及华南地区的田野研究发展而成。项目以 “七仙女” 及其与纺织女工、自梳女群体、菜姑（又称斋姑）社群以及以女性为中心的庙宇传统之间的关联为研究起点，逐渐拓展为对死亡、仪式与女性神圣形象的探讨。通过庙宇仪式、灵媒实践、刺绣工作坊与盂兰胜会等仪式活动，作品追索普通女性如何在集体记忆与信仰实践中，逐渐成为祖先、灵媒、女神与守护者。
她曾于威斯特法伦艺术协会，明斯特；KW 当代艺术中心，柏林；新柏林艺术协会；Kai 艺术中心，塔林；首尔 ARKO 艺术中心；香港 CHAT 六厂等机构展出。2021 年，她荣获 ars viva 奖。
Mooni Perry 的个展目前正在柏林 Kunst Raum Mitte 展出，展期持续至 2026 年 10 月 4 日。
Mooni Perry (b. 1990, Seoul) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Berlin whose practice explores diasporic divinity, women's ritual practices, and vernacular cosmologies across East Asia and beyond.
Her moving image works emerge from long term field research and investigate how myths, folk religions, women's ritual practices, and suppressed histories continue to shape contemporary life. Working across film, installation, and publishing, she traces the movement of stories, deities, and spiritual practices across borders, generations, and political regimes.
Her recent film EL (2025), exhibited at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, traces the forgotten lives of Korean women who migrated to Manchuria during the Japanese colonial period. Filmed across former sites of Manchukuo in Northeast China, the work moves between dreams, archival fragments, and contemporary landscapes to explore disappearance, displacement, and the afterlives of colonial violence.
Her installation and publication Missing (2024) emerged from research into female Taoist communities in Hong Kong and Southern China. Combining moving image, field notes, interviews, and speculative writing, the project examines women who have lived outside conventional family structures, tracing alternative forms of kinship, devotion, and belonging through the figure of the missing woman.
Her recent two channel installation The Oracle (2025), commissioned by CHAT, developed through three months of field research in Hong Kong and Southern China. Beginning with research on the Seven Fairies and their connections to textile workers, Comb Sisters, Cai Gu communities, and women centered temple traditions, the project gradually expanded into an exploration of death, ritual, and female sacred figures. Through temple ceremonies, spirit medium practices, embroidery workshops, and Hungry Ghost Festival rituals, the work traces how ordinary women become ancestors, shamans, goddesses, and guardians through collective memory and devotion.
She has exhibited at institutions including Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; Kai Art Center, Tallinn; ARKO Art Center, Seoul; and CHAT, Hong Kong. In 2021, she received the ars viva prize.
Mooni Perry’s solo exhibition is now on view at Kunst Raum Mitte in Berlin, through October 4, 2026.
