Jeong revisits works from Homemade RC Toy (2019) to Under Construction (2024), sharing development anecdotes and reflections on robotics, installation and puppetry. By reworking gestures originally designed to animate objects and performing them without props, she exposes the body as material, using nudity and minimal staging to evoke ritual and altered agency.
