Through conceptually rich and technically innovative artworks, Lee Bul explores the notion of immortality and the desire to transcend the limits of the body. Based in Seoul, Korea, Lee's past works have included elaborate costumes composed of stuffed body parts, jewel-encrusted decomposing fish, and silicone sculptures of female cyborgs and cyber-organisms. Her newest installation, Live Forever continues her investigation of the body and technology through three self-enclosed karaoke pods and a trilogy of videos. Drawings and sketches related to the project are also on view, along with a foam prototype of the pods.
