* 01.03.1962, Seoul, Corée du Sud
Réside à: Seattle, États-Unis

Don Mee Choi was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1962 and now lives in Seattle, where she works as an adult basic education instructor. In addition to her own poetry, she is a prolific translator of modern Korean women poets, including several books by Kim Hyesoon.

In the artistic work of Don Mee Choi multi-linguality is a political gesture of resistance – of Speaking Differently and Remembering Differently – against established forms of memory and remembrance. In Hardly War she investigates the traumatic echoes and deep-rooted ramifications of the Korean and Vietnam wars and of American colonial policy and asks questions about their impact on her childhood and present. To do this she works both transmedially and transhistorically, sampling heterogeneous geopolitical and historical fragments and integrating postcards, drawings, sheet music and photos into her texts. These are artefacts of her father’s, who was a war photographer.

In this way, Hardly War does not just reflect on the role of the camera and of observing misery and war, just as her first work, The Morning News is Exciting, also did, in an extraordinary variety of forms including opera libretto, lists and songs, but also looks at relationships with fathers, militarism, nationalism, origins and patriarchy.

In 2019 Don Mee Choi is a fellow of the DAAD Artists in Berlin Programme.
