Connecting people through art 

The Han Nefkens Foundation is thrilled to announce the European premiere of “Colorless Odorless”, at Room Room x Art Hub Copehagen, the result of Eunhee Lee winning the Han Nefkens Foundation – Loop Barcelona Video Art Production Grant 2023, in collaboration with Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona; MoCA Museum, Taipei; ILHAM, Kuala Lumpur; Art Hub Copenhagen, and Inside Out Art Museum, Beijing.

The pages of a tightly filled notebook are turned for the camera, one by one. On the cover are the words “Clean Notes”. This is the work diary of Hwang Yu Mi, a 22-year-old who worked in a South Korean factory manufacturing electronic components until she fell ill, finally dying of acute leukaemia in 2007.
In Eunhee Lee’s fascinating, disturbing, documentary film Colorless, Odorless (2024), we see work records, archival material and testimony from the individuals, mostly Asian woman and migrant workers, who make components for the global electronics market.
The film has its European premier in a new solo exhibition at Room Room, along with Machines Don’t Die (2022) – a video work about electronic waste and the industry that recycles the rare minerals and metals the machines contain.

Eunhee Lee (born in 1990, South Korea) creates experimental and documentary videos/films which explore the relation between individual, image and technology in a social context. Technology is not only a product of science, but a complex compound of different political and economical interests. The practice of observing these phenomena is an ongoing attempt to understand the strange and absurd world we live in.
Eunhee Lee received Absolvent and Meisterschüler in Fine Art at Universität der Künste Berlin, and acquired MFA at Korea National University of Arts.
Based in Seoul, Lee held solo exhibitions at Doosan Gallery (2023), The Reference (2021), CR Collective (2020), participated group exhibitions at Seoul Museum of Art (2022), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (2022/2021), ARKO Art Center (2020), Museum of Contemporary Art Busan (2019) and many others.
Her films have been screened at the Jeonju International Film Festival (2025), DMZ Documentary Film Festival (2022), EXiS Film Festival (2018/2019), The Seoul International NewMedia Festival (2023/2018).
