Dark Matter (2022)

6 min 37 secSingle channel / Digital Video / Colour / Sound

Dark Matter (2022) continues Jae Hoon Lee's practice of using digital image technology as a vehicle to transform organic matter, presenting a series of pulsing coals, crystal and other mineral deposits. The artifical extension of natural materials into new forms suggests an uneasy relationship between the natural and created world.

    A gallery with several large scale projections of natural forms with subtle transformations in their natural form, including a setting sun in purple, an island and a ball of organic matter ,
