‘Infinity V’: Time stretches. Its conditions become rough at an idle speed, at once brutal and aerial. The seascape we contemplate exudes a strange feeling, out of time, as if a part of eternity. It is a disturbing ghostly eternity. Heewon Lee invites us to confront the unchangeable cycle of nature in a constant hypnotic ebb and flow in which we are bewitched by a great force, despite the multitude of existential questions that run through us.

‘Infinity IV’ causes us to be absorbed into unlimited time, into a permanent latency in which everything is able to happen with supernatural slowness. There is a tension while being suspended in a timeless black and white, which is almost monolithic and hypnotic. It has an incantatory magnetism that draws us into the antechamber of a parallel dimension and into a shamanic form.
