Paper trip of Jane
Paper trip of Jane
A book produced based on the archival plates and texts from Eusung Lee's solo exhibition Jane. It contains physical attempts to reorganize exhibitions and works in a codex-type space. The name ‘Jane’ alludes to both the artist’s elder sister, who emigrated to the United States long ago, and the enigmatic “Jane Doe”—the term given to an unidentified woman. The ear’s form is based on Lee’s fascination with her older sister’s pierced ears. Piercing was a rarity in South Korea at the time and became a source of fascination for the artist, symbolizing the unfamiliar, exotic, and dangerous facets of American culture. The ear, while serving as a monument to her sister, also represents the artist as a listener—open to new possibilities and eager to connect.
