Jun Hoon Lee: Antarctic Fever
Antarctic Fever by Korean-born, New Zealand-based artist Jae Hoon Lee engages the natural and the technological worlds.
Overview
Antarctic Fever by Korean-born, New Zealand-based artist Jae Hoon Lee are the result of the artist visting the continent as an Arts Fellow in January 2012.
His works are filtered through an Eastern philosophical perspective and his experience of contemporary Korean culture, creating a richly layered view of the world. At first glance the high level of detail in his images make them appear real. It's not until we take a closer look that we notice their subtle tricks. Constructed from sometimes hundreds of images taken over periods of time, his source material is stitched together in Photoshop.
By combining documentary photography and the fictional possibilities offered by new technologies Jae Hoon Lee sets up a compelling interplay of real and virtual experiences.
