In Lying on the floor, Eunkyung Lee looks at the home through the places its plan leaves unaccounted for: the floor just beyond an entrance, the narrow gap between two pieces of furniture, the small intervals where a tired body comes to rest. These overlooked positions become a way of reading domestic life through memory, routine and the body.
Lee’s point of departure is the familiar space of home, at once private and shared. Its sense of territory can contract to a corner or extend across an entire house. Rather than focus on rooms and their assigned functions, the work attends to moments of pause within them. An unplanned posture on the floor can ease the tension of the day, allowing the body and mind to settle. For Lee, such places linger as a sensation carried in the body, like a patch of shade within the home.
The three low forms follow bodily movement rather than a prescribed use. Lee first worked with a material that could receive the pressure and imprint of the hand, then carried these traces into cast aluminium through a sand-moulding process. Each surface holds a different moment. Their three-legged structures keep a subtle tension and instability, resisting the perfect balance expected of a functional object.
With dimensions ranging from 295 to 360 millimetres wide and reaching no more than 130 millimetres high, the sculptures remain close to the floor. They do not propose a fixed function. Instead, they invite a temporary state of being: a place to lean, pause or simply remain.
Lying on the floor was presented in House of Practice, an exhibition at TACT Anguk in Seoul from 15 to 18 July 2026. Bringing together prototype furniture and objects by nine creators, the exhibition considered how home shapes memory, perception and everyday life. Within that setting, Lee’s work shifts attention from the designed interior to the bodily pauses that quietly give it meaning.
