This publication features Lee Changwon, at his solo exhibition for the Mori Art Museum from June to October 2012, marking his first public presentation of work in Japan. The catalogue includes images from the artist's previous works. Originally a sculptor, Lee employs food items to create portraits and objects that appear as shadows, using goods such as ground coffee and tea leaves.
In Seokho's Wedding, a groom that appears as a shadow is portrayed with a smiling face. Similarly, in 5 Portraits, five portraits are created using strips of colored paper, with Lee's head as the central figure. In addition to using food items, he uses plastic articles such as detergent bottles. He lights them up - the aura of a stained glass window appears, as in Holy Light.
Includes an essay, artist biography and bibliography.
