Lee Seung-hee's Synchronicity

The first exhibition of the <Local Project 2020> opens with Lee Seung-hee's <Synchronicity>.

Lee Seung-hee is working to break away from sterotypes and errors by expressing the impressions she felt through her life thorough "soil". To him, "soil" is not just a material, but a tool of reason, and the "TAO" series, which attempts to change three-dimensional ceramics into an unformatted plane, and the Daejamudo, which is designed to make every word of it, are the result of breaking up the concept and property of traditional ceramics and building a new realm of modern art.

The title "Synchronicity" is a borrowed theory from Karl Jung, meaning "meaningful coincidence", and in this exhibition, the artist makes a new attempt that has never been made before, reflecting the specificity of the space in the first exhibition hall. 

First of all, to reduce the degree of space at least, use little color in the space, and minimize lighting. Black porcelain bamboo and black cubist pottery are installed in space with little lighting and the object has a darker black shadow than the shadow created on the actual object. 

These visual representations create an illusion between the actual black shadow and the black shadow that has been drawing. It induces visitors to ask like "Where is the object from and how far is the shadow?" Just as people who have no shape but draw shapes create meaningful forms, such as the feeling of seeing a painting of ink and water or the feeling of looking at the night sky, the viewer himself may be reminded of the world of "Synchronicity".
