Liondance!
2024 | video |
Eleri Lee, born and raised in South Korea, combines her rich cultural heritage with her studies at Seoul National University and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Her work balances between fiction and documentary, as she weaves together the present and the past in her own unique way.
In her video art piece entitled Liondance!, Eleri takes us on an emotional journey of a woman with an anxiety disorder who’s in search of an old guardian deity. By using the folklore of the lion, she follows her desire to find this god. How would you feel if you could embrace your fears and find your inner protector? Eleri seeks to inspire us by presenting a humoristic yet profound exploration of femininity and tradition. Come and join her on the journey!
