Inhye Lee "Emotional Block"
Soho20 Chelsea Gallery
This event has ended.
The title piece in the exhibition features a digitally projected head inside a rotatable cube. In this piece Lee has created a visual manifestation of ones unknown/unseen fears, which prevent the flow of creativity and form a block. Visitors are encouraged to move and play with the cube, revealing all four sides of the head. The imposition of geometry on the human form is humorous and emphasizes Lee’s interest in interactive play and puns in her work.
The other work in the exhibition, Face Book With A Hole: Four Emotions uses an interactive book format to transfer emotion and identity. Lee’s sense of humor is again apparent as the mix-matched faces create a slightly surreal rendering of humanity’s most basic emotions; joy, sorrow, happiness, anger. The subjects in Lee’s book volunteered their images from facebook profiles and photo albums, a nod to Lee’s penchant for puns. The book itself, a beautifully crafted object with hand-cut windows manages to soften the mechanism of social networking to the simple inherent qualities we all share.
