The pages of a tightly filled notebook are turned for the camera, one by one. On the cover are the words \u201cClean Notes\u201d. This is the work diary of Hwang Yu Mi, a 22-year-old who worked in a South Korean factory manufacturing electronic components until she fell ill, finally dying of acute leukaemia in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Eunhee Lee\u2019s fascinating, disturbing, documentary film Colorless, Odorless<\/em> (2024), we see work records, archival material and testimony from the individuals, mostly Asian woman and migrant workers, who make components for the global electronics market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The film has its European premier in a new solo exhibition at Room Room, along with Machines Don\u2019t Die<\/em> (2022) \u2013 a video work about electronic waste and the industry that recycles the rare minerals and metals the machines contain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Korean artist Eunhee Lee (b. 1990) works with film and video to explore the relationship between the individual, the image, and technology. In her increasingly documentary works, she lays bare the world\u2019s absurdities to make clear that technology is never only a product of science, advancing humanity: it is a complex and disturbing mix of geopolitics, economic interests, environmental consequences, oppression and exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Colorless, Odorless<\/em>\u00a0opens at Room Room on 22 August at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n ~<\/p>\n\n\n\n INFO<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eunhee Lee: Colorless, Odorless<\/em> Opening on 22 August at 5.00 p.m. Everyone is welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 28 August at 5.00-7.00 p.m. Colorless, Odorless<\/em> is generously supported by Han Nefkens Foundation and the Danish Arts Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Room Room ~<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABOUT THE ARTIST Eunhee Lee received Absolvent and Meistersch\u00fcler in Fine Art at Universit\u00e4t der K\u00fcnste Berlin, and acquired MFA at Korea National University of Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based in Seoul, Lee held solo exhibitions at Doosan Gallery (2023), The Reference (2021), CR Collective (2020), participated group exhibitions at Seoul Museum of Art (2022), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (2022\/2021), ARKO Art Center (2020), Museum of Contemporary Art Busan (2019) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her films have been screened at the Jeonju International Film Festival (2025), DMZ Documentary Film Festival (2022), EXiS Film Festival (2018\/2019), The Seoul International NewMedia Festival (2023\/2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n MORE INFO The Han Nefkens Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that exclusively provides support for the production of video art.

Talk with Eunhee Lee and Mads Mikkelsen, Head of programme at CPH:DOX<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thoravej 29
2400 Copenhagen NV<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eunhee Lee (born in 1990, South Korea) creates experimental and documentary videos\/films which explore the relation between individual, image and technology in a social context. Technology is not only a product of science, but a complex compound of different political and economical interests. The practice of observing these phenomena is an ongoing attempt to understand the strange and absurd world we live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eunhee Lee received the 2023 Han Nefkens Foundation Loop Barcelona Video Art Production Grant, and it is on the basis of this support that Colorless, Odorless<\/em> \u2013 both as a video work and exhibition in Room Room \u2013 came into being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
