Dominique Koch

Dominique Koch (*1983) lives and works in Basel. From 2004 until 2011 she studied photography at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. Her installations can be described as “thinking laboratories.” The artist merges different fields of research in her work and creates hybrid entanglements and improbable intellectual encounters.
