Lee Dammy, Overwriting, Overriding
Lee Dammy’s installation, which begins at the entrance of the Korean
Pavilion, holds symbolic significance as a loop that circulates the
beginning and end of Little Toad, Little Toad. Overwriting, Overriding brings forth the hidden entities that have silently coexisted with the
pavilion, offering an opportunity to reflect on its history. Among the
four narrators selected by Lee Dammy are the honey locust tree, standing
as a guardian of the Korean Pavilion, and Mucca, the cat who roams the
space as if it were its own home. Overwriting, Overriding reveals that the pavilion has been home
to broader entities; not only to the architects, curators, artists, or
artworks. Through this speculative approach, Lee Dammy re-examines and
“overwrites” the Korean Pavilion, inserting hole-like fractures into
its established narrative, inviting the audience to step through, much
like Alice falling into the rabbit hole of this exhibition.
