One of Shayu’s most recent projects is a video collaboration with Hee Eun Jeong, a contemporary dancer who studied at the California Institute of the Arts. The two originally met in 2015, at the Korean University of National Arts in Seoul, whilst on an exchange program. They reconvened this year to collaborate on a project when Shayu made a stop-over in Seoul as part of her Asia tour. The result is a video entitled ‘Hee 19’ featuring Hee Eun, soundtracked by Shayu’s “Euljiro”, a grime-adjacent track that utilizes vocal layering to create a hypnotic atmosphere.The original composition lasts around 12.30 minutes and it has been shortened for the video. In the video, Hee Eun is featured dancing in a brightly coloured outfit (provided by local South Korean fashion label AJOBYAJO) on a rooftop, her organic movements mirroring the ebbs and flows of Shayu’s production. The camera then follows Hee Eun as she moves through city streets, dancing in her own world while businessmen obliviously pass by.
