Jeewi Lee

Press release

Jeewi Lee, born in Seoul in 1987 and based in Berlin, is a multidisciplinary artist exploring memory, time, and decay through site-specific installations, videos, and painting series. Her work focuses on "the trace," representing the past, presence, and absence. Lee's art challenges visual perception by highlighting the unnoticed aspects of everyday life. Traces, though abstract, carry narrative elements, serving as residues of past lives—a visual allegory for lived experiences, history, and memory. Lee, with a South Korean-German background, conducts intensive material research, transforming and combining materials for poetic exploration. She often engages with exhibition spaces, creating site-specific installations. Her art reflects the co-existence of presence and absence, exploring the intersection of past and present.
