​

I, Jeesoo Hong, was born in 1991 and am an artist based in Cologne. My works so far dealt with existing spaces in everyday life and reinter­pre­ting their spatial narra­tives. In parti­cular, renovated spaces—which contain layers of time and practi­cality in their archi­tec­tural functions — become the main materials in my projects. By using those spaces as stages, I aim to highlight their unique charac­te­ristics, creating situa­tional inter­ven­tions through drawing, sound, instal­la­tion, perfor­mance, and walk-based activities.
