Le installazioni di Soyeon Cho sono il risultato del minuzioso assemblaggio di banali oggetti quotidiani.
Questa giovane artista coreana mediante il suo fare artistico, dona ad oggetti insignificanti, che abitualmente usiamo e poi gettiamo, una seconda vita, molto più preziosa di quella a cui sono convenzionalmente destinati.
Con cotton fioc, forchette di plastica, fili del telefono, Soyeon crea un paesaggio irreale, denso di movimento, colori e luce.
Questi oggetti rappresentano la banalità, lo stress e la frustrazione della vita di tutti i giorni: Soyeon Cho, sapientemente e pazientemente, li utilizza per costruirsi un mondo alternativo, un paesaggio magico e fiabesco dove non si ha paura di sognare.
