이제령Born in 1986, Seoul, Korea
Lives and works in Berlin.
Jeiryung Lee’s artistic practice begins with writing. For her, it functions as a method of endurance, and language itself becomes a tangible material. By applying text directly onto objects and structures, which are often reshaped or distorted through language, she shifts writing from something to be read into something that exists physically in space. Working across installation, sculpture, painting, and drawing, she finds places for what remains unresolved in language, giving each word a home.
