By collecting everyday objects and placing them in unexpected contexts, Koo explores the roles and relationships that are defined by structure and institutions while also examining various phenomena that spring from them. More recently, she has focused her attention on the art scene. Building on her experience in various roles as museum volunteer, docent, intern curator, designer and installation assistant, Koo attempts to approach and interpret from the fringes, and sheds light on behavior and psychological state as defined by one’s role.
