Seung Wook Koh approaches somewhat grave themes like criticism of institutions conceptually, but also in a pleasant and humorous manner of expression. He makes a 'playing' performance on the scrapped wasteland in Seoul, which has been formed through growth-oriented economic development and drastic industrialization. Through such a funny performance, the artist reproduces an isolated small land into a significant and sensible place.
