Guda Koster’s works are made for specific sites, projects or commissions. Her works and installations are mostly made of various kinds of textiles and fabrics and refer to clothing, fashion and things like curtains, carpets and so on. Her works are simple and don’t pretend to be anything more than variations on fashion, interior design and architecture, although there’s often a surprising twist in the function of these ‘familiar objects’. It isn’t a critique of the clichés, dullness and boredom of ordinary lives, but she’s, on the contrary, looking for an optimistic and fresh perspective on reality.
