Studio Hojin Kang

The artistic practice of Studio Hojin Kang is situated at the intersection of digital technologies, embodied experience, and cultural memory. Within this process, the Studio connects interactive media with traditional rituals and objects, drawing on the Confucian and Buddhist philosophies that shape his Korean heritage. With 3D-printed prayer beads, AR sculptures and breath-controlled light installations, Studio Hojin Kang creates visceral encounters that emphasize the visitor's bodily presence, drawing on the theory of embodied cognition by Lawrence Shapiro. Thus in a time of political division and cultural fragmentation, the works seek the transcendent qualities that interconnect us as human beings. The works of the Studio have been exhibited at Galerie Judith Andreae (2025), 48h Neukölln (2025), Stockwerk Projekt Weimar (2024), Kassel Dokfest Lounge (2023), Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken (2022) and Kunstverein Ulm (2018), among others.
