Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo is an American artist based in Berlin. She studied under TJ Demos at The Maryland Institute College of Art and later The Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow Poland.

The core of D'Angelo's work confronts fear, vulnerability, and what is thus invisible by confronting violent emotional truths and social estrangement in relationships and in romantic partnerships. Drawing on personal narratives, historical legacies, and personal memory, she navigates lewd behaviors and precarious conditions and attempts to redefine what is normal while embracing difference as a source of inspiration and empowerment in order to create new means of belonging while forging empathetic strategies that resist hegemonic categorization.  Working across various media, her videos and installations have boldy investigated sensitive themes such as HIV for women of color, the hidden shame and sacrifice in infanticide, racism and it's relation to white feminism and the "exotic" female body,  cultural classism and power play in interracial relationships, and the unspoken trauma and reality behind child incest and abuse in matrilineal family structures. 

Her works have been exhibited at KINDL Centre for Contemporary Art, Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Kunstverein Braunschweig, Hua International, The Goethe Institut, and The Palace of Culture in Warsaw. D'Angelo's work has been reviewed in Artforum, Art in America, Elephant Magazine, and The New York Times and is included in The Federal Collection of Contemporary Art Germany.  She has worked on video productions for musicians Fever Ray and performance artist Christeene and was a part of MTV Germany's 2021 Pride Campaign. Her first monograph, Fatal Attraction, was published by Mousse Publishing in 2023. She has lectured at European University Viadrina, New Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, and was a visiting lecturer at Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel Germany as well as Humboldt University. D'Angelo will be a visiting lecturer in at University of the Art's Graduate Program, Art in Context in Berlin in the summer 2026.
