Born in Korea in 1967, Koo-Jeong-A now lives and works in London. In both her installations and more recently her photographs, Koo Jeong-A acts through small, discreet touches on daily life, taking the most commonplace-seeming things and surrounding them with a halo of unpredictable subjectivity.

Her work plays on the ephemeral nature of her installations, and on their fragility and melancholy. Winner of the Villa Medicis award in 2000, Koo Jeong-A has taken part in many international exhibitions.
