Inhye Lee - Face to Faces

In partnership with Venice Arte Laguna Prize.

Curator : Valentina Peri

For the first show in France of the Korean artist Inhye Lee, Galerie Charlot has made a selection of interactive works created between 2006 and 2014 as well as photographic prints. Her work is focused on the human being, and in particular on feelings and emotions. The artist develops her creative process on the face that reveals those sensations. It is the main link among the works chosen here. Playful and poetic, her works always invite us to participate and would not exist without the participation of the spectator. The artist’s work is very delicate, the fineness of the object and the relationship we establish with it masks its’ complex technology. Closely tied to memory and remembrance, her work takes us immediately back to childhood, inspired by objects and toys of the past. We “recognize” them. And follows rapidly is the desire to play with them through sound, manipulation and vision.

For this first collaboration with Inhye Lee, and thanks to the partnership with the Prix Arte Laguna, Galerie Charlot has given “carte blanche” to the artist to create an original interactive work to be discovered during the exhibition.
