LEE Eunhee
Body Alerts examines how occupational diseases of the Industrial Revolution continue to repeat themselves in today's electronics industry. Taking the medical misreading and concealment of early "hysterical" neurosis as its thread, the work moves between reeling rooms in the textile industry and cleanrooms in the semiconductor industry, weaving past disasters together with present incidents. In doing so, it probes the contradictions and vulnerabilities embedded in even the most advanced industries and technologies, prompting critical reflection on the world that technology has made.
Lee Eunhee (b. 1990, South Korea) creates experimental and documentary films and videos that examine the relationship between the individual, image, and technology within a social context. In her work, technology is not merely a product of science but a complex assemblage shaped by political and economic interests. The practice of observing these phenomena is an ongoing attempt to understand our absurd world.
