Sung Seok Ahn(안성석)

Sungseok Ahn uses historical records, the situation of reality, and the point where personal experience intersects with his generation, times, countries, and systems.
In his metaverse studio, he pays homage to the objects of artist Chankyung Sung 's work that he keeps, symbolically expressing the existence that we all must always take care of and take responsibility for. The artist set the face-shaped sculpture facing the avatar to pass through other objects in the space, implying that the existence is not a physical form that bumps into something, but a non-physical existence such as our ego or burden in our hearts. Exploring Sungseok Ahn’s Studio, it allows us to think about our inner selves and the beings we need to protect.

Chankyung Sung (1930-2013), whom Sungseok Ahn pays homage to, is a poet who has sought to expand his own poetic theory throughout his life, and a formative artist who has recreated works by communicating with various everyday objects collected during his lifetime and connecting them with literary imagination. Artist Chankyung Sung showed the idea that we can enrich our spiritual and material lives by considering things as existence rather than use, in the process of art creation and life.
