Lee Bul’s multimedia practice, spanning drawing, sculpture, painting, installation, video, and performance, takes inspiration from literature, cinema, and architecture.

‘Perdu XXIX’ (2019) is from a series of works composed of organic and inorganic materials, including mother-of-pearl and acrylic paint. Lee conceptually and materially explores the parallels between artificial and organic. The dynamic, beautiful, yet slightly unsettling anthropomorphic forms in ‘Perdu XXIX’ are seemingly in constant motion as if seeking completeness, representing the artist’s perpetual inquiry into the human condition and the futility of utopian dreams, central themes in her earlier ‘Cyborg’ and ‘Anagram’ series. ‘Perdu,’ French for “lost,” is notably used in Marcel Proust’s ’À la Recherche du Temps Perdu (In Search of Lost Time)’ and is a military term meaning “hidden or obscured.”
