Sunsook Hwang

I expand the traditional material concept of East Asian painting, translating the sensibility and perspective of sumuk into contemporary media languages.

Through expanded media practices—including video, documentary, experimental film, animation, media facades, and performance—I reinterpret ink through immateriality and East Asian notions of time.

Recently, I have been continuously exploring intersections with technology, including what I term “data sumuk.”
