Bo Young Choi

My friend Bo came over today and showed me some of her recent work, including this awesome piece on her website. She told me about the process of making it - how she waited around for another grad student to help her with the photography, and then how she decided to do it on her own with the camera's timer. She said a crowd of people came to watch, and they asked her questions and took their own photos. She even brought them down to her campus studio to see her other work. In a way, her whole piece changed. It became more than the still photographs of her in midair...it was also a nice hyggelig moment, a connection with the outside world. Grad studies can get tricky - you get all tied up in your work, in your studio space, and sometimes you need an afternoon of jumping around to make you remember what lies outside.
