She starts the day with a child pose before Seoul's dawn, which leads to a lotus posture, and from dawn to dusk she practices each pose of the Sun salutation. After dusk in Seoul, she practices a posture that responds to the current moon status from the moon salutation, which is followed by a lotus posture and a corpse pose. I wish to remind myself and all of us to live in sync with the rhythm of nature, which is often forgotten when surrounded by digital displays and artificial light. exhibited at Plug In City 2020 (plugincity.org), produced by Red Onion / sponsored by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Arts Council Korea, Seoul Foundation of Arts and Culture https://luciajeesunlee.cargo.site/Dawn-Here-Dusk-There Wed, 09 Sep 2020 08:54:22 +0000 Lucia Jeesun Lee https://luciajeesunlee.cargo.site/Dawn-Here-Dusk-There Dawn Here Dusk There/ Solar Time video installation2019 <img width="4131" height="2728" width_o="4131" height_o="2728" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88ee449b3dc2c43f6661a71ba10528fad3d11d5fb66e90e7e07c92df57317e05/Lee_Lucia_SOLARTIME00003.jpg" data-mid="82192351" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/88ee449b3dc2c43f6661a71ba10528fad3d11d5fb66e90e7e07c92df57317e05/Lee_Lucia_SOLARTIME00003.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ec10915568726408f041e11cdae310f9df3905754bbe410c588b24c5be0f34d5/Lee_Lucia_SOLARTIME00001.jpg" data-mid="82192350" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ec10915568726408f041e11cdae310f9df3905754bbe410c588b24c5be0f34d5/Lee_Lucia_SOLARTIME00001.jpg" /> With two screens facing each other along the line of East-West, I attempt to create a time and space for crossing between day and night. By walking into the path, the audiences are invited to exist in the two time and spaces at the same time.

It also exists in the form of the website at facingthesun.net as a pixellated map. As a collective from antipode regions - Gonzalo from Chile and Lucia from Korea - both having lived in opposite time zone from home, we are fascinated by the experience of being in day and night at the same time as one chats with his/her mother from home. With this project, we attempt to create a space that enable us to transcend geographic limit of experiencing time, with help of technology as an extension of our senses.exhibited at Doldam Gallery, Jeju, Korea https://luciajeesunlee.cargo.site/Smartstone Mon, 07 Sep 2020 02:02:48 +0000 Lucia Jeesun Lee https://luciajeesunlee.cargo.site/Smartstone Smartstone&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Installation Experience2018 <img width="5616" height="3744" width_o="5616" height_o="3744" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a42608389c5dd5570c4a20b55de58dd08f91361de7339c414a8502abb7c73fbe/Lee_Lucia_SMARTSTONE_00004.jpg" data-mid="81967179" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a42608389c5dd5570c4a20b55de58dd08f91361de7339c414a8502abb7c73fbe/Lee_Lucia_SMARTSTONE_00004.jpg" /> <img width="1620" height="1080" width_o="1620" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9eff6b831272a6bf7ca04ed96e44f0681c8913dc5c6d2af9b07528897eb9fcd5/Lee_Lucia_SMARTSTONE_00000.jpg" data-mid="81967285" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9eff6b831272a6bf7ca04ed96e44f0681c8913dc5c6d2af9b07528897eb9fcd5/Lee_Lucia_SMARTSTONE_00000.jpg" /> With ‘Smartstone’ – an imaginary product made with stone – as an alternative of smartphone, the project attempts to rethink and question human relationship with our technology. Using language of tech company’s marketing line twisted with that of mystical products, Smartstone disguises as an ultimate ‘next new gadget’. Smartstone is a revolutionary ‘device’ that resembles smartphone in size and shape but does nothing but being a stone. Its simple functionality to the state of Zen gives you room of imagination and reflection that we are loosing in this information age, yet, its appearance allows you to still live incognito with other smartphone users. First and second batch of Smartstone comes from sedimentary rocks of Buan located in South Korea – home of leading smartphone company. Made truly organically, each Smartstone has unique shape from its nature formation. As an experimental and experiential project, the first trial was initiated by lending stones to a few of my friends and acquaintances in New York and Seoul in 2015 and getting feedback of their experience. During the artist residency at Artspace IAa in Jeju between March~ August 2018, I have developed the project for public, and presented Smartstone in local bookstore and Open Studio for people to have their own Smartstone experience, in exchange of their smartphone. I have been collecting individual’s experiences, and based on their experience the project has been evolving.exhibited at Artspace IAa, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Mirae Boookstore https://luciajeesunlee.cargo.site/Breathscape Sun, 06 Sep 2020 12:03:38 +0000 Lucia Jeesun Lee https://luciajeesunlee.cargo.site/Breathscape Breathscapesingle-channel video2016 <img width="1080" height="1920" width_o="1080" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b105dabfd36156a4155a4d58be0fffd42b15800f0d608fd59b0b4e94039401a/Lee_LuciaJeesun_06_Breathscape_2016.jpg" data-mid="81967539" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b105dabfd36156a4155a4d58be0fffd42b15800f0d608fd59b0b4e94039401a/Lee_LuciaJeesun_06_Breathscape_2016.jpg" /> Breathscape is a re-imagined landscape made with breathing human stomachs. We find shapes of the human body in a landscape; could we find landscapes in our bodies by closing up? What is it like to see breathing stomachs of all kinds side by side and to frame them as a whole breathing landscape? As a process, I have been recording breathing stomachs of all statuses, ages, and races including pregnant women. Each individual’s stomach forms either a mountain or valley with one's breathing cycle, which unavoidably reflects the effect of my presence with a camera and the intimacy of the recording itself. This is the first composed piece of the series. exhibited at Artspace IAa, Jeju, Korea 16th Seoul International New Media Festival, Korea https://luciajeesunlee.cargo.site/Landscape Mon, 07 Sep 2020 05:56:40 +0000 Lucia Jeesun Lee https://luciajeesunlee.cargo.site/Landscape Landscapeinteractive installation2015 <img width="2448" height="3264" width_o="2448" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44b859f6da359dd1822a28bee67fc47447c634e57c93151044be0a629fa8bc18/Landscape_installation.JPG" data-mid="81974713" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44b859f6da359dd1822a28bee67fc47447c634e57c93151044be0a629fa8bc18/Landscape_installation.JPG" />Landscape is an interactive audio-visual installation that invites people to touch the landscape on paper and see it awakening with sound and light.

Participant B answers participant A's question and asks another question to the next participant, again, not knowing who it's going to be. And it goes on and on, until it reaches 10th people.
