Prerequisites 7 consists of five animated drawings. Each individual work started with pen drawings taken from Koo Jeong A’s book, Nomos Alpha (2018). Koo’s sketches of density were then rendered in 3D. Using environmental mapping, the work reflects and refracts the surroundings of wherever it is placed: from a bustling city to the quiet depths of a garden.
Koo Jeong A’s reflections on the senses and the body incorporate objects, still and moving images, audio elements, and aromas. Many of her works are conceived within site-specific environments that test the limits of fact and fiction, and what is imaginary and real in our world. Koo’s practice considers the connection of energies between a place and people, and relies on chance to drive her encounters. She was named “2016 Artist of the Year” by the Korean Cultural Centre UK, and recent solo exhibitions and commissions of her work include: ajeongkoo, Art Sonje Center, Seoul (2017); Enigma of Beginnings, Yuz Project Room at Yuz Museum, Shanghai (2016); Koo Jeong A x Wheelscape: Evertro, Everton Park, Liverpool (2015) and Oussser, Fondazione La Raia, Novi Ligure (2014).
