Ming-Miao Ko7
Erotic Symbiosis 2024 1
Ming-Miao Ko | *1984 | Taipei, Taiwan; Belgium | Intonation 2025
Ko`s practice is focused on the "fluidity" between corporeality and meaning-making, heading toward a non-dichotomous approach that obscures the borders between binary sexed body and object, human and non-human, sexuality and reproduction. In doing so, her creative process derives from the entangled relations of natural and artificial, biological and cultural, questioning sexualisation, objectification, and dehumanisation in the anthropocentric world. The subtle details of her artwork and the concept of the body can also be traced from her study background in contemporary jewellery art
In her works, she plays similarities and reinvents metaphors between the given meanings, symbols, shapes, and associations from nature, daily life, and the human body parts. She reinterprets those elements that refer to gender fluidity, genesis, erotic power and sensuality to generate her artworks as dynamic transforming hybridities. Moreover, she expects to evoke the viewers relational thoughts of the interconnected bodies of humans and non-humans, which interprets the all-things-connected assemblage of various vital cycles. Accordingly, her works illustrate an uncanny surrealistic symbiosis by delicate porcelain to imply the fragile status of the body between being and becoming to intrigue the viewers wonder.
