Kon Fu Shan Joshua (b. 1997, Singapore) became an artist after learning he’d have to study literature under a particularly fierce teacher. After abandoning the literary arts, he realized he had no aptitude for other fields and opted to study art instead.
He enjoys exploring how established systems of power can shape the world at an intimate level. His approach includes satire and humor to expose flaws and limitations, and to reveal to audiences that nothing is truly unquestionable.
Joshua graduated from Nanyang Technological University, School of Art, Design and Media with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Media Art (Photography). He has participated in For the House; Against the House by OH! Open House during Singapore Art Week 2023 and DECK Photography Art Center Undescribed 2023. He was awarded the Kwek Leng Joo Excellence in Photography award in 2022.
