Brooch 05, Jewellery as Second Skin
The
As ‘Animal Becoming,’ a philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, states, my skin is opened with a new response by transforming it through an actual skin of animals.
Through a transformation between animal and human, changes can be brought to the source of my behaviors. Such transformed body expression may have the significance to perceive a new self and find independence.

Also, by replacing skin of reptile by body skin and contraposing as a skin of other species, I wanted to find independent body through empathy or differentiation. In other words, I wanted to show new significance of jewellery through the beauty of modified body. A medium of skin expression, the membrane of animal’s inter organ, has also the concept of skin as jewellery through the transforming of internal skin of body into external skin in the non-human body. This is a finding of another self in the process of existing skin’s distortion into a new one.
A subtle exchange between reality and ideal through an ironic skin modification is embodied into a new idea. Such a displacement between the subject and the object is not only a process of observing self, finding an independent body, and actualizing the desire mechanism, but also a play that enjoys a formative expression.
‘Second language’ is showing this person’s intuitive formative language like drawing. This person intended to discover a potential which will become something more than a form with the possibility of a form which changes in intuitive perception The ‘second language’ is organic creases consequent on materials. This is the process of being transformed into the endless dynamic form through organic windingness, crookedness and folding by constructing an abstract form using organic creases consequent on materials.

The densely populated residential area on the inner side of Dosan-daero is a site in which civil complaints clash and height limits are rarely respected. The mass was folded according to the slopes of the stairs, to avoid a steeply set mass. By decreasing the mass as it ascends along the straight stairs, skylights were placed at each level.
The building’s purpose is as a recording studio, which has instigated serious complaints by local residents restricted opening up the outer wall, with its closed figure naturally leading to a selection of bricks.Though red bricks were chosen in accordance with the surrounding multiplex housing, by using surface cutting of used bricks, an old faded look was achieved.
The recording studio on the second and third floors was sedigned to have no columns by using the windowless outer wall as a structure, and the volume containing the office on the fourth and fifth floors was built with a light transparent box to relieve the weight of the trans structure. The upper volume is supported by V-shape steel column in the ground floor car park, transferring the weight to the underground reinforced concrete column.
By inserting a commercial building in the block of multiplex housings, a nuanve of change was initiated by partially combining the light gestures of steel structure on the familiar brick building.

ByungHo Lee instills breath and movement into his sculptural work using a soft material, silicone, and an air compressor to compress or inject air quickly. Lee embodies physical/external or mental/internal changes and alterations that he explores constantly using silicone, air and time. However, the external change is not limited to only appearance but also embraces stories about the inner side, mind, society and the times that made this alteration.
His breathing and moving sculpture represents transformation from a child’s face to a skull, from young people’s faces to the elderly faces with deep wrinkles and from the firm skin to the lifeless form exposing the skeleton underneath, which is his own representation of the timeless theme of art – life and death.
ByungHo Lee was born in Seoul in 1976. He obtained both B.A.(2004) and M.A.(2010) degrees in sculpture at Hongik University.
