AB - This article reinterprets Lee Seung-taek’s key idea of “non-sculpture” by focusing on Plane Object and Photo-Picture, two bodies of work that reveal his distinctive approach to mediums. Originally trained as a sculptor, Lee has pursued experimental practices in object art, installation, performance art, conceptual art, land art, painting, and photography. Notably, Plane Object unsettles the boundaries between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional and between painting and sculpture while probing the possibility of “the Neutral.” This work experiments with mediums to recalibrate perceptual experience and dismantle conventional genre distinctions. Meanwhile, Photo-Picture deconstructs the work’s internal notion of the original and photography’s claim to authenticity through repeated cycles of shooting, editing, reshooting, and reprinting. Furthermore, by concealing elements such as painterly gestures, formal composition, and cultural codes within the visual strata, he explores methodological possibilities that deliberately unsettle the categorical divisions between reality and fiction and between the real and representation. This study proposes a new interpretation of “non-sculpture” by analyzing these two bodies of work and offers an inquiry into the fluidity and unconventional possibilities of art. It further suggests these debates furnish grounds for rethinking the ontological conditions and meanings of art amidst the dominance of digital images.
