dispel

“For this exhibition, dispel, I attempt to elaborate on the conceptual framework, delving into the intricately linked two elements—infrastructure as body and body as infrastructure. To me, it is rather important that one is not just another. Together with it, a poetic approach to the form of assemblage was also something important to me.” Lee’s works are born from her observation of space and the accumulation of objects marked by wear and tear: used teabags, electrical cables, broken electronic fragments, strands of hair… These materials—sometimes mechanical, sometimes human—are salvaged and layered into organic compositions, becoming witnesses to fragmented narratives directly drawn from the urban landscape.

Dust, discoloration, and tears— traces of the passage of time—transform these objects into poetic remnants of both collective and individual memory. Performance plays a key role in the artist’s practice. The performer, clad in cables and metallic wires, moves slowly through space, revealing the hidden infrastructures of our daily lives.
