Kyu Sang Lee was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to Cape Town in 2005.
Sang Lee’s photographic artistic practice draws on his experience within distinct regions and cultures of the world and exhibits strong influences of Eastern, Western and African cultures.
Photography in South Africa indeed has been a violent one. People use images to influence and invade other minds. Posters and news, as images are works in a similar way. Just like heavy rain, one lives in a world with an overflow of information where one cannot always identify what is true. The more information flows, the more one forgets about oneself and eventually, one’s life becomes dominated by oblivion.
