Artist Profile
JeeYoung Lee
Seoul-based photographic artist
Young Korean artist Lee JeeYoung builds highly dramatic, psychedelic and visually intense scenes herself, ensuring that every teeny tiny detail is hauntingly perfect and leaves the viewer in awe. For weeks, sometimes months, she creates the fabric of a universe born from her mind within the confines of her 3 x 6 m studio in Seoul. She does so with infinite minutiae and extraordinary patience, in order to exclude any ulterior photographic alteration. As soon as the otherworldly sets are done, the artist incorporates herself in them in various different ways and takes these stunning self-portraits.
