Lee Lee Nam provides us a new vision with his video artworks in which he combines different image and reflection across traditional and modern age, west and east culture. After receiving his master's degree in sculpture, he continuously works on the themes of visual culture and try to overcome the constraint in both the material and intangible world. Regardless of the norm in medium and exhibition space, he integrates the use of technology with advanced presentations. By reworking on the classic, he introduces a new meaning to the works of old masters. “New-Danbalryyeong Manggeumagang” is a work that Lee would like to bridge the past and the future. In this piece, several city landmarks and airships emerge from the foggy scenery background, while gentry-literati and beauty figures tacitly take on the cable car in the mountain. Viewers are expected to indulge in the nostalgic charm of the ancient and the meticulous details of the setup where they can search for metaphors and have fun. Behind the impression of animation or contemporary art, Lee Lee Nam guides viewers to go through a fantastic journey and conveys an idea that art is without borders.
