Seungjun Lee (b. 1987, Bucheon, South Korea) studied Fine Arts at the Universität der Künste Berlin from 2015 to 2022.
His work has been presented in solo exhibitions such as His Nature at Semjon Contemporary Gallery and Billy’s Room at Galerie Burster, both in Berlin. He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including presentations at Galerie Burster, Circle 1 Gallery, and Gallery Grisebach, among others. Lee’s artistic achievements have been recognized with the UdK Berlin Art Award (2023) and the Karl Hofer Stipendium (2022).

Seungjun Lee addresses themes such as memory and change in his installations with sand, a medium inherently unstable, offering no firm footing, spreading and disintegrating, yet simultaneously stimulating and unfolding a unique sensuality. Sand retains traces without fixing them: a step, an imprint, a movement - each remains visible, but only briefly.
Memories gather and settle like sediments in a place. They accumulate, condense, break apart, collapse, and reform. What may once have been bound to longing or fear takes on new meaning in another situation. Memories are never static but constantly in flux - shifting with each experience, each gaze, continuously reinterpreted in new contexts, exposed to ongoing influences. They are not only visually shaped but are deeply tied to other sensory impressions - touch, smell, sound - and often anchored to place.
Lee’s works make this process spatially and physically tangible. Sand slipping through your fingers alludes to the impossibility of holding on to something, while simultaneously referencing the traces that, despite everything, remain.
