Ji-Min Park Reflects on Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster's Influence in AnOther Magazine

In the Autumn/Winter 2026 issue of AnOther Magazine, actor and artist Ji-Min Park discusses the influence of Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, whose storytelling ability Park finds liberating. Park first met Gonzalez-Foerster on a train from the Cannes Film Festival to Paris, where Park had been with her debut film, Return to Seoul. Park, who studied at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, had long admired Gonzalez-Foerster's work, attending her exhibitions and reading her books. She praises Gonzalez-Foerster's capacity to transform autobiographical elements into universal narratives, comparing her to an actress who can inhabit many roles across installations, sculptures, and pictures. Park also applies this approach to her own work, describing it as 'emotional digestion.' Park's recent solo exhibition, Infrastructures, at Pony gallery in Paris, featured a blue-lit installation revisiting her teenage bedroom as a site of trauma and transformation. Born in South Korea, Park moved to France at age nine without knowing the language, an experience that caused severe anxiety. She channels these cross-cultural tensions into her art and acting, with notable roles in Return to Seoul (2022), A Private Life with Jodie Foster, The Little Sister (Queer Palm at Cannes 2025), and Love Me Tender opposite Vicky Krieps. The issue marks 25 years of AnOther Magazine and is on sale internationally.
