Hongsuk Ahn (he, him) is a performer, photographer, and painter based in Belgium currently studying at La Cambre. His performative thinking digs into social and cultural issues and dynamics, notably focusing on the nuances of racial discrimination against Asians in the Western context and on the irrationality of the East Asian Social Systems.
In his work, Hongsuk Ahn actively adopts humorous, playful, and exaggerated modes of expression to encourage active engagement with the latent and pervasive violence.
