Jeewi Lee: Index

Every Contact Leaves A Trace

Jeewi Lee: Index delves into the intriguing world of traces—the intimate imprints and distinctive markings—that we leave behind, which inhabit the spaces surrounding us. The book covers abstract compositions of rescued stories, worn-out pavements, stripped-down wallpapers, cut-out floors, grains of sand that have travelled millions of years around the world, coffee stains, and burnt wood.

These traces, both human and historical, become vessels of stories and memories, inscribed on various materials, bearing witness to the past, present, and future.

This publication offers a comprehensive exploration of the manifold tracings of the Berlin-based Korean artist over the past decade. It provides insight into her highly conceptual way of working and unveils previously unseen documentation of her deeply personal process of creation.
