Jaemyung Lee is interested in the reality and potential diversity of artificial objects. He considers every object to possess an element that remains undetectable. Focusing on stationary objects or those that have lost their function, he collects and reinterprets their images through painting, obscuring or transforming their visual information to reveal new possibilities of perception.
