About Inorganic Mineral 裝置藝術

李霽專注獨特植物裝置藝術的創作，通過反思藝術的本質和研究創意技術，並將對於自然與生態的感受結合建築背景，轉化成為形式化的藝術品。此系列的創作主軸旨在研究材質的本質，並思考材質在被拆解之後，可以以美學系統和新的觀看角度重新接受的組構方式。在城市中被利用於造景之外，李霽相信植物經過重新定義與建構後，能使人對於自然環境景觀產生情感影響。

Unique Properties: The theme of this series of works is to investigate the nature of materials and how materials, after being disassembled, can be reconstructed by the aesthetic system and new perspective. Lee also probes into the utilization of plants in the city apart from the outdoor landscape. The redefinition and reconstruction of plants and other artificial materials may make natural landscape have an emotional impact on people.

Design Challenge: The most challenging part of this research is to deconstruct the landscape and texture in Taiwan's cities and then from which let the artworks demonstrate the spiritual images of the environment and the connection between different material compositions. The series of works looks for permanent installations in space that link those images while signifying the necessary contingency measures for particular places with different environmental conditions.
Research: This series of works explores the way to make the non-recyclables produced non-unidirectional value under the economic system. It carries out experiments on its development potentials and various techniques of the manufacturing process based on the nature of materials. Therefore, the inorganic waste can be recycled and remade as mixed media for artworks.
Inspiration: Inorganic substances, as recognizable compounds, have become the primary environmental condition for people in cities to rely on. Based on Taiwan's history, it is understandable to see a delicate balance between the social class and quality in cities. However, Lee Chi believes that the actual outline of environments would only emerge if we exclude the knowledge we get from all cultures and civilizations, he sheds light on the relationship between his artworks and space where they settle.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2019 in Taipei and finished in March 2019 in Taipei.
Artwork was exhibited in Botaniplan Von Lee Chi studio during May 23 to June 6, 2019. And also artwork gallery BOUNTIFUL JOURNEY in Taipei during September 23 to 28, 2019.
Operation Flow: This installation is intended to be displayed statically.
