Mire Lee’s works draw on an alien imagery, exude entropic energy, arouse polarizing feelings, seductive and repulsive at the same time. Idiosyncratic and spectacular, Lee’s sculptures play on the projections of vorarephilia (desire to eat someone or be eaten), becoming an expression of solidarity with the increasingly suffocating realities of the Anthropocene, a consequence of a carnal and insatiable desire for power. Towels, chains, clay, silicone tubes and steel structures come together to form a tactile, primordial and yet highly mechanized organism, capable of generating fetishist and erotic drives.
