Baron is mainly interested in twisted fairy tales and dark emotions, looking at them from totally different perspectives. Apart from collaborating as performer and assistant director he likes writing short stories for which he creates characters whom he then brings to life in various visual forms such as dolls, masks and costumes. He set his theoretical foundations as artist and performer as student at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design where he attended and completed BA and MA courses in Performance Design. Born in New York, U.S.A., Baron grew up in South Korea and is currently living and working in London.
