The Nazca Lines are vast geoglyphs etched into the deserts of southern Peru, believed to have been created between 500 BCE and 500 CE. These intricate carvings depict animals such as spiders, monkeys, and hummingbirds, alongside geometric patterns. Some figures extend up to 300 metres, their scale necessitating an aerial perspective to fully appreciate their form.
Just as the Nazca Lines demand distance from the ground to unveil their full outlines, certain phenomena, conversely, require microscopic proximity to uncover their contours. Similarly, Lee and Chang’s works converge on the shared act of carving wood, forming a vast, unified landscape when viewed from afar. Upon closer inspection, however, as if through a magnified scope, their distinct narratives emerge, rendered in differing mediums.
Eusung Lee (b.1989, Seoul) forms empty spaces within the cracks of thickness in the conceptual inventions of modern society. Recent exhibitions have been held at Sculpture Biennale in Changwon, Changwon, South Korea (2024); Ilmin Museum of Art, Seoul, South Korea (2024); CYLINDER TWO, Seoul, South Korea (2023); Tiger Strikes Asteroid, New York, US (2023) ; Artsonje Center, Seoul, South Korea (2022)
Sunwon Chang (b.1998, Seoul) seeks to transcend the rational order of the here and now through painting, drawing, and relief sculpture, delving into image-worlds that challenge conventional binaries. She received her BFA from Seoul National University (2023) and her recent exhibitions include <Idling Skein>, CYLINDER ONE, Seoul, South Korea (2024); <PEEPHOLE>, ARC1, Seoul, South Korea (2024); <TORQUE 3 / HIGH BEAM>, CYLINDER ONE, Seoul, South Korea (2023).
