Myoung Ho Lee separates subjects from their original circumstances to derange the difference between subject and image. His work reveals nature by twists and turns, a little fabrication and optical illusion.
Myoung Ho Lee enacts his works as ‘a series of discourses on deconstruction in the photography-act’.
His works are largely composed by following four procedures:
1. Selection of The Subject
2. Separation of The Subject (meta-subject)
3. Photographing
4. Confirmation of The SeparationFirst, look at the procedure 2: separating the subject from its environmental condition artificially. By setting a big white fabric vertically behind the chosen subject, he makes the subject appear neutral from its original context. The object becomes a ‘separated object’, an ‘ambiguous subject’ and a ‘meta-subject’.
The challenge of the ‘Photography-Act’ is deep. Because ‘Photography-Act’ is not a real subject but a decontextualized and isolated variant from the subject, it is a real subject and non-subject simultaneously.
Procedure 4 confirms the creation of identical chaos to the ‘Photography-Act’ itself by this separation and decontextualization.
