Izzy Lee | 이지 리 (b.1996, KR) is a visual artist working across video, sculpture, and installation. At the heart of her practice are the “female alien” characters. She creates beings that exist on the fringes of society, constantly evolving within imagined spaces. Rooted in feminist sci- ence fiction and themes of otherness, her art explores displacement, identity, and the inter- play between external environments and internal experiences. Her glitch-like spaces blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, offering a lens into liminal zones. Her fluid and constantly shifting characters traverse these landscapes, challenging norms and reflecting on the psychogeographical tension between belonging and estrangement.
By integrating video, sculpture, costume, and installation, Lee crafts the vibrant, ever-shifting worlds for these characters. A recent graduate of the VAV Moving Image department at Gerrit Rietveld Academie (2024), she is based between Amsterdam (NL) and Seoul (KR). Her work is an ongoing journey into speculative futures and alternate realities, probing the edges where new possibilities emerge.
