Jonggeon Lee
No possessed space is a solid space, but merely an empty space that is constantly changing.
Jonggeon Lee, Vermont Studio Center, 2009
In my work, I explore both domestic and public architectural structures, such as staircases or historic monuments that have been displaced from their original contexts.
Having lived both in Korea and the United States, my sense of belonging to either one of these cultures has been continuously disrupted. As a result, I have come to view historic architectural structures through the lens of cultural dislocation; I realize now, that when these architectural structures are displaced, the cultures that they represent are also dislodged from their origins.
In an effort to capture my experience of cultural displacement, I reproduce components of architectural structures as sculptural objects and installations in order to evoke both the time and space of its origins. I distort and crop the decorative elements of domestic Colonial houses, reconfigure the scale and material of historic monuments, and combine historic architectural structures with everyday objects. In the work, I transform the architectural structures to dislodge them from their initial function of structure. As a result, in each of the pieces, time becomes fixed and isolated from its conventional cycle, creating memories of space.
