What is life?

Conway Hall

London

Markus ‘Hustle’ Lee (b. 이주혁, 1996) presents his first solo exhibition of paintings, 'What is Life?' at Conway Hall, London.

South Korean musician EOH sampled sounds recorded by Markus in his hometown of Suncheon and turned them into four pieces of music, each inspired by a painting. As the music plays, lights highlight each painting in turn, creating a theatrical atmosphere.
