Fenna Koot
Koot is interested in the relationship between people and their built environment. Fasinated by how we design and move though our living space, she questioned the boundary between the private domain indoors and the public outside. What can architectural structures reveal about the social structures of the society that built them?
With an outward gaze Koot recreates everyday elements from architecture, such as walls, corners, and doors, and then puts her own stamp on them. The friction between the rational on one side and the subjective on the other, such as the grid versus its breakthrough, the transparent versus the opaque is characteristic of her work.
