Hyungkoo Lee, Homo Animatus











Hyungkoo Lee exhibition Homo Animatus involves that of creating the skeleton of popular animation characters and installing them into familiar poses. In my eyes it idolises these characters and makes a statement about them being archaic and having a presence in the history of society. I don't think that actually anything much deeper is to be read into it and it's just a bit of fun. What I like best is the way the artist has deconstructed the characters down to their skeletons and I think it's an important feature that he has been able to from there tv presence and I think that is why these characters are so strong.
