Gin Bahc
Gin Bahc lives and works as a conceptual artist in Karlsruhe. Following a bachelor of art in South Korea, she continued at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe with Gustav Kluge and Marcel von Eeden, with whom she completed her studies in 2017 as Meisterschülerin.
In her work she addresses topics such as human behaviour, social environments and the increasing medialization and loss of control in one's own life.
Using various constellations and dispositives, power and control structures are analysed and unfold into an extended space. During this process, aspects of exposure and concealment, humiliation, self-determination and power are important themes. Gin Bahc’s drawings are the starting point for installations and performances that confront the viewer with an associative flood of images.
