Korean renowned artist, Hayoun Kwon has studied at Le Fresnoy Art School in France, then she co-founded Innerspace VR, one of the very first virtual reality studios, exploring since 2014 the fragile balance between storytelling and interactivity and tackling very different genres: documentaries, 360° fictions, until recently video games, with an equal critic and public acknowledgment.

Fascinated by virtual reality, a medium she uses for questioning the truth, Hayoun Kwon has been developing for several years now a work on heritage and memory. Her previous projects includes one of the first VR documentaries: D.M.Z., Memories of a No Man’s Land and more recently several location based installations for museums and art centers, such as Kubo Walks the City awarded at Tribeca Festival 2022 and Eternal Walkers awarded at Geneva International Film Festival 2023.
