My interest is in time and space. The interest is not only the progress of science but also the fundamental of human beings. I have questions like ‘Who am I?’, ‘Where do I come from?’. Us, human-beings have been considered the center of universe since the Modern era. But let’s think differently and change perspectives by looking at ourselves from the universe. We are not actually the center of the universe. We are just in the flow of substances. If we are able to see ourselves from the perspective of outer space, we would be more humble and have more respect for other lives. We would be more cordial to each other and have more dignity for ourselves by recognizing that it took a long-long time of the harmonious universe order for us to be present. This recognition is very important and could become the words of comfort to cope with daily traumas we face. This portfolio is about my very personal interest and contemplation on ‘Life from Time-Space’.

Life from Time-Space
오랫동안 시간과 공간에 관심을 가져왔다. 이 관심은 과학의 발달뿐만 아니라, 보다 근원적인 인간 존재 본연에 관한 것이다. 나는 누구인가, 어디로부터 온 것 인가. 인간은 근대 이후로 우주의 중심에 있어 왔다. 하지만 관점을 바꾸어서 우주로부터 자신을 바라보자. 인간은 우주의 중심에 있지 않다. 우리는 물질의 흐름 속에 있다. 만약 자신을 우주 밖에서 바라볼 수만 있다면 우리는 더욱 겸손해질 것이며 다른 생명도 함께 존중되어야 함을 느낄 것이다. 우리 존재가 조화로운 우주의 질서로부터 기나긴 시간을 거쳐 왔다는 사실을 인식하는 순간, 개개 생명이 얼마나 귀중한지를 새삼 다시 느낄 수 있을 것이다. 이 인식이야말로 매우 중요하며 매일같이 직면하는 일상의 상처로부터 잘 대항할 수 있는 위로가 될 것이다. 이 작업은 ‘시공간으로부터의 생명’에 대한 지극한 사적 관심과 응시로부터 나왔다.

The Review of Exhibition by John McDonald, Art Critic of The Sydney Morning Herald
. Matters are not so clean-cut in “Life from Time-Space”, by South Korean photographer, KYUNGHEE LEE, at the Pine Street Creative Arts Centre (until May 15). Lee's photos are low-keyed and oblique, often giving the impression of being snapped from a moving vehicle. The artist wants to look at human life from the perspective of the universe, rather than adopt the classic idea that "man is the measure of all things".
When the view is reversed we seem like small, fragile particles, hardly more notable than the ragged silhouettes of birds that seem to have been torn from the shadows of trees. Lee says she didn't intend to take melancholy photos, but how can we not feel sad to be displaced from our centrality by the vast impersonal forces of the cosmos?
