Donghee Koo "No Dog Walking on the Roof"
Doosan Gallery
This event has ended.
Koo meticulously visualizes and directs awkward and incomplete stories into her media works, which express the contradictions and absurdities of her ordinary life. When she received a letter from her apartment supervisor saying, “No dog walking on the roof,” she focused on how this equivocal phrase could be interpreted into different meanings. This title defines her working method and the ambiguous interpretations of her works.
For Witnesses, Koo plausibly stages the clichés of people in sunglasses, from different perspectives. She applies existing visual forms, yet constantly pursues change through atypical plot, endless repetitions, and sudden closure. For her, the ‘media art’ only holds the meaning of ‘medium’ which can depict moments that may not be described in words. This often deceives or confuses the viewer, but at the same time opens a door to new interpretations.
