Yujin Shin studies moving images, particularly early twentieth-century animations in the US and Korea. She seeks to disarticulate the chronometric value of modernity by thinking together with the temporality of the non-human entities that are represented in or used during animation production. She is particularly interested in the ways in which plastic, the very modern material of cel animation that gave birth to the plastic movement of animated characters, opens up multifacted forms of temporality beyond the supposed linear progression of modernity.
