These disparate mediums are combined with elements such as wind, gravity, and site-specific interventions into architectural space. Often using commonplace matter in order to conjure up alternative realities, not only geographically but also astrally. |

As Frank Boehm pointed out Koo Jeong A works with a wide range of varying expressions and characters who are part of an on-going narrative that might call into play the idea of “correlations” of Friedrich Kiesler, of relations between works, ideas and projects in various disciplines that are so close as to become interdependent events, always oscillating which the viewer must decipher and unravel. |
