REAL DMZ PROJECT
Seoul, South Korea
Study for Aubade V is a study model for a new piece to be produced with melted barbed wire from guard posts in the DMZ, which would be a large-scale installation with a diameter of 3 meters and height of 4 meters when assembled. Inspired by Bruno Taut’s Monument des Neuen Gesetzes, the work adopts designs of modern lighting towers from various eras and sources, with LED light boards installed around each level of the three-leveled structure. Modern text, either in Esperanto or the Morse code, keeps flickering.

- 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.
