San Keum Koh


Koh San Keum creates replicas of newspaper pages and books: each letter, each character is replaced by an artificial pearl. Through this she reduces the content of a text to its structure, its design, its layout. The content of the text can no longer be analyzed, but is hidden behind the structure and - depending on how it is read - takes on a new meaning.
