BAEK SEUNGJOON

is an artist who uses visual tools including photography and video to document subjects in human nature that are invisible but exist as a visual record in the media he deals with. Through the narratives that he constructs, he explorers how human nature such as ego, identity, or relationship forms, transforms, or even evolves in the society where we live in. By utilizing visual tools and other methodologies including performance or installation, he wants to provide new ways of perspective and leave questionaries of invisible existences that we have missed as human beings.
