Donghwan Ko

Donghwan Ko (b.1982, Daejeon, South Korea) lives and works in London and Seoul. With a doctorate degree in Fine Art from the University of East London, Donghwan Ko practice explores the reasoning behind why we call a place ‘home’ and what conditions are required to encourage us to inhabit a given space.
“My work revolves heavily around understanding the dynamic nature of the spaces which we define as home. The space within the home is a temporary space that requires settlement and adaptation, ultimately becoming a cardinal site for our privacy and intimacy. It is, however, paradoxically complex, limited, temporary, divided, and empty.” DK

Donghwan Ko (n.1982, Daejeon, Coréia do Sul) vive e trabalha em Londres e Seul. É doutorado em Belas Artes pela Universidade de East London. A prática de Donghwan Ko explora as razões por que chamamos uma casa de “lar” e quais são as condições necessárias para nos encorajar a habitar um determinado espaço.
“O meu trabalho gira em torno da compreensão da natureza dinâmica dos espaços que definimos como lar. O espaço dentro da casa é um espaço temporário que requer assentamento e adaptação, tornando-se um lugar de privacidade e intimidade. É, contudo, paradoxalmente complexo, limitado, temporário, dividido e vazio. “DK
