A Fire That Burns Haunts Me

Description

Anthill by South Korean Artist Jung A Lee is her first solo-exhibition in Germany. In her new series of large-scale canvases, Lee focuses on two central ideas: Firstly the idea of the human mind as a multi-facetted structure, that like an anthill, only reveals a small part of itself to the outside world, but can hold unexpected depths. Secondly visualising the relationship between “the inner and the outer world” how Lee describes it and the anthill as a metaphor for an altruistic society that functions according to Derrida’s idea of absolute hospitality.
