Sunggu Hong
Sunggu Hong (he/him), born in Seoul, is a Vienna-based artist who works in the fields of visual and performance art. He studied visual art in South Korea and performance art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. ‘Relationship’ is a key concept of his practice which allows him to ask how we should/could live together within mutually dependent, entangled, complex relationships: Why do alienation and hate tend to arise within such entanglements? His current interest is directed at the relationship between humans and non-humans. By focusing on their mutual dependencies and entanglements, Hong tries to deconstruct an anthropocentric perspective and take a fresh look at our complex relationships, the events that shape them and ways of living together. The main question guiding his entire work process is: How are we raised by one another?
