LEE Han Su

Since the mid -1990, LEE Han Su has been examining a facet of contemporary hybrid culture in critical perspectives throughscientific-fiction installation and video.
His works advocate the aesthetics of hybridism, where the East and the West, and the past and the future are mixed up, and the religious icons such as Buddhist images and angels allure scientific fiction.
Lee's works also embodies the critical perception on contemporary cultural collision,neither heavy or negative, beyond the level of superficial images on hybrid and variation.
It concerns examining the other facet of hybrid, which lingers as an image of genetically transformed deformity, which lost the tradition and homogeneity when the traditional culture meet the new culture.
Lee's video installation work, which signifies the difference and heterogeneity rather than homogeneith, hybrity rather than unity, and post-centralization rather than centralization, deny the logical and coherent categorization or uniformed "seif".
Lee's work is based on intersection and communication, and also on awareness of contemporary culture on economical level.
