CYLAND Video Archive is pleased to present a selection of newly acquired artworks by participants of the recently concluded CYFEST 16: Archive of Feelings. A Journey – Regina Hübner, Heejeong Jeong, and Juan Poyuan.
Four video artworks by Regina Hübner have been added to the archive. Among them Loving Letters, which features letters written by visitors as part of their participatory act within the loving site-specific video installation at CYFEST 16. The collection also includes recent works Vanyere and Karkhach (2025), created during the artist's visit to Armenia and inspired by the impressions of local culture. Hübner's themes and works often have autobiographical connotations and address questions about communication, perception, relationships, time, and the subjective perspective. Her artistic approach is characterized by long-term projects that develop over time and are interconnected throughout her entire 40-year career, while maintaining their independence.
South Korean artist Heejeong Jeong is very interested in the power of landscapes that are difficult to capture through the logic of reason, through photography and video. The artist uses unique colors and screen compositions to visualize symbols that are not easily read, revealing the dangers or fascinating moments embedded in ordinary daily life. House of Wind (2023) talks about the void of the sense of self and the illusion of hometown through the identity of a house where the past and present coexist. In the Sweet Home (2021), the products of Korea's authoritarian government's 1960s housing policies are presented as the inevitable apex of economic and cultural desires. The work questions the house, through the eyes of neighbors and the outskirts that are abandoned in the process of development.
Juan Poyuan based in Taipei, is an artist, gamer, and internet addict, has long focused on digital games, cyberspace, and cyberqueer with digital archaeology as the core concept of his creative context. With a learning background in visual arts, he reflects on digital technology from the perspectives of sculpture, painting, and printmaking, presenting a new perspective and way of thinking to reflect on and question the meta-setting behind this post-Internet era. Poyuan Juan’s recent works focus on how to penetrate the technical objects and materials behind digital interfaces and images, thinking about digital technology and the contemporary situation in the digital technology world, and how digitalization reconstructs our perception. It was just a virtual kiss (2020, 2024) is now available for viewing on the CYLAND Video Archive website.
