Mire Lee

Mire Lee (*1988) is known for her visceral, kinetic installations that probe the tension between eroticism, vulnerability and decay. Informed by her background in sculpture and influences from body horror, fetish culture and poetry, she experiments with an eclectic combination of industrial materials – including silicone, concrete, PVC tubing, lubricants, machinery, electric motors and pumps – to create works that teeter between growth and collapse. Her environments ooze, throb and rumble, evoking both bodily and mechanical functions and resembling living organisms that conjure a sense of the grotesque that is as seductive as it is unsettling.
