2023 2-channel video and performance
WONJEONG
DEPARTMENT STORE explores desire for fantastical images and the ways these
images connect the body to the world, primarily through media installations and
performance. Drawing fleeting and unstable fantasies into the body and onto the
screen, the artist experiments with bodily sensations experienced both online
and offline.
WONJEONG
DEPARTMENT STORE began as a brand created by artist Lee Wonjeong to offer
performances to audiences in the form of a service. Through this brand, the
artist produces performance-based videos and media installations, pursuing
modes of practice that can be articulated within contemporary media and
technological environments.
WONJEONG
DEPARTMENT STORE explores the body and mind positioned between the boundaries
of the digital and the offline through a range of sensory media. Rather than
viewing images in the digital realm and bodies in physical space as
oppositional, the artist understands them as interconnected, bringing the
desires and fantasies contained within the digital self into close contact with
reality and the flesh.
