Terence Koh.
Terence Koh has built a following with installations and performances that are characterized by a gothic infused sensitivity. His work is ritual in nature and uses objects and images to examine identity, meaning and their fetishisation. Koh’s recent interest for natural eco-systems, has led him to use organic materials, focusing on interaction and time based processes as metaphors for human thoughts, energy flows, civilization and life cycles.
