LEE Yona, En route home, 2020, Stainless steel, objects, variable dimensions (3D drawing), Yeongdo Harbor

LEE Yona appropriates ready-made stainless-steel pipes into immersive, labyrinthine structures in her sculptures and installations. These large-scale installations are site-specific constructions, and often the works incorporate generic elements such as chairs, tables, lamps, and beds from common domestic spaces. The domestic objects that LEE usually inserts into her structures appear uncanny. Although such objects are reminiscent of a space like room or a house, their neat presentation does not generate a homely atmosphere.

The stainless-steel pipes function as tentacles in exhibition spaces, they reach out and create networksthat stretch from floor to ceiling, bend around corners and produce walkways and platforms. The installations become an integral part of the space and architecture they are situated in, and no matter how subtle LEE Yona’s structures appear to be, they somehow tend to own the space. Within the captivating installations, dead-ends, barriers, and handrails are used to demarcate space and direct the movement of the audience.
