REAL DMZ PROJECT
Seoul, South Korea
Idea Sketch for REAL DMZ PROJECT is a preliminary concept for a work to be installed at Yangji-ri checkpoint. It covers the decommissioned checkpoint structure with a metallic net with shiny metallic spangles on its surface like scales. The piece itself uses inanimate materials, but it would become a kinetic work on site as it would reflect changes in the environment such as season, time, and weather, and the surface would sway like water following shifts in wind or light. The piece retains the existing structure but simultaneously erases part of it as it is covered by the inflected and reflected scenery.

- 작가 정보: One of the foremost contemporary artists in Korea today, Lee Bul (b. 1964, South Korea) creates works that reflect a philosophical exploration of 20th-century cultural history. Exploring issues ranging from societal gender roles and the failure of idealism to the relationship between humanity and technology, she produces genre-bending works rooted in critical theory, art history and themes from science fiction. Lee Bul was academically trained in sculpture but her interest expanded into other media, such as performance art. Through her mesmerizing installations, she investigates how visionary narratives and notions of progress affect the way our world is structured both in the present and future. Her most recent survey exhibition was displayed at Hayward Gallery, London (2018), and Gropius Bau, Berlin (2018–2019). She currently lives and works in Seoul.
