Lee Seung-hoon has explored the boundaries between painting, time, and perception through the medium-based foundation of animation. For him, movement is not simply something to be represented or unfolded through narrative. Rather, he focuses on the afterimages of sensation and subtle instabilities that emerge precisely at the moment when movement comes to a halt. It is within this suspended interval that his artistic inquiry begins.

His practice extends beyond the conventional techniques of animation, expanding into both material and digital realms. By visualizing a “temporality of sensation“ in which stillness and movement continuously intersect and transform one another, Lee investigates the fluid conditions of perception. Furthermore, through the material expansion of his works, he seeks to demonstrate that even within the technologically driven landscape of the post-human era, the significance of art ultimately resides in the artist’s body and embodied experience.

The subjects that appear in his works do not possess a stable or realistic sense of volume. Instead, they oscillate within cycles of hand-drawn lines, pen marks, and lingering afterimages created by the artist himself. Existing in a state of perpetual vibration, these forms emerge somewhere between appearance and disappearance. Through this process, Lee evokes a sense of “ghostly vitality“ that traverses the boundaries between stillness and movement, presence and absence, the digital and the analog, image and time.

Ultimately, his practice can be understood as an ongoing exploration of a paradoxical sensibility: movement within stillness and stillness within movement. Through this sustained investigation, Lee reveals how images can remain alive not through fixed representation, but through the continuous fluctuation of perception, memory, and time.
