JIN KO

Warm Bodies are proof of our presence.

By holding aloof from it, I remove my existence.

JIN KO is a Korean London-based artist who believes in the power that anonymity offers. From modifying to vanishing, her work explores human existence with fragile materiality. She is continuously questioning how a single layer can create protection for our body and mind. Her work aims to create shelter for the hiders in social situations. Veil to prevail.

Dressed to Veil

I want to be there but, at the same time, I do not want to be there.

I keep chasing myself to get the answer to this dilemma. - October, 2020.

Concealment is distinct from absence. It is easy to refer to hiding as the wimpish behaviour of someone who tries to escape from the situation. What we often miss is hiders do not vanish. They remain as a part of the scene. Like a spy or soldier in camouflage on the battlefield, while people do not recognise their existence, they observe others and take the initiative. That is the concernment of concealment.

Instead of dressed to kill, We dressed to veil.
