LEE Yung-Chih

Projection Installation,Multi-channel Video Installation, Transparent Glass Stickers


Artist Lee Yung-Chih has long been interested in Asian urban living spaces amid industrial landscapes. Lee’s past works convert billboards, advertisements, and signs as creative components through approaches including ridicule, appropriation, and material transformation.

Lee’s Neo n’ Old series “copies” out-of-fashion neon billboards. By using mediums such as videos and transparent output images, Lee attempts to imitate and reconstruct the neon billboards that were seen across Asia in the 1980s. Neo n’ Old mourns past technologies and and illustrates “Futurism Out-of-date” For the artist, the work is not only the gathering and collaging of historical images but also references personal memories and experiences, a paradoxical redisplay of fiction intertwined with reality.
