Kochan highlights various problems of his suroundings, on purpose or unconsciously. For instance at work, he supported the protests aimed at imposing the basic income without suspension by his jump into the pile of coins in front of the Swiss parliament. Kochan is a hood, an abstract artist, leftist and activist.
