Eunu Lee & Naehoon Huh

Eunu Lee and Naehoon Huh have each maintained independent practices while building a collaborative body of work together since 2013. Spanning sculptural installation, performance, and digital media, their shared work takes as its starting point the relationships between human-designed systems and the beings encountered at their edges. Rather than fixing themselves to any single medium or form, they engage space, material, and digital environments in whatever way each subject demands.

Beginning with early structural installation works, they have gradually expanded into performance and digital media. In Hikikomori (2018), they explored isolation and connection within digital environments through a sealed mobile structure and an anonymous communication system. In Synopticon (2020), they developed a performance in which a camera-fitted mask object is worn while walking the street, with facial recognition technology automatically collaging virtual masks onto unmasked faces—raising questions of surveillance and the media’s construction of reality. Their most recent work, May be this way, Mr. water Deer. (2025), examined the coexistence of human and non-human beings through sculpture, video, and installation, taking ecological corridors and artificially managed nature as its subject.

Their work makes visible the structures of systems while attending to what is left out or pushed askew within them. Networks that promise connection but offer no certainty of what lies beyond; systems designed in the name of protection that simultaneously produce exclusion—it is at these points of contradiction that the work of Eunu Lee and Naehoon Huh begins to ask its questions.
