The Chamber of Wonder culminates in an upside-down cityscape of interwoven crystals suspended from the ceiling. It invites visitors to interact with the installation and develop their own interpretation of Lee Bul’s story. Chandelier is adorned with approximately 400 crystals. Each individual strand combines multiple crystal elements. The city’s silhouette is inspired by the formal language used by German expressionists in the 20th century and shows a variation of architectural typologies.
Lee Bul was born in Yeongju, South Korea in 1964. She is considered one of the most prominent Korean artists of her generation. Lee Bul moved away from her academic sculptural roots early on and has explored the formal and conceptual boundaries of fine art through performances and multisensory installations. Since the early 2000s, her work has addressed topics like utopian modernism, the historical avant-garde in art and architecture, and the rise and fall of progressive projects to redesign the world.
Lee Bul’s work is exhibited in major museums and international collections around the world. Her large cast steel tower Aubade V was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2019. In 2024, she was responsible for the frequently changing design of the facade of the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
