Through his unique artistic vision, he challenges traditional boundaries and fosters a dialogue that transcends geography and time. In the podcast, König and Jingge Dong speak about his upbringing in China, why he decided to move and study in Italy, finding his visual language, and the works on view at KÖNIG TELEGRAPHENAMT.
