Jeewi Lee, Mona Schulzek and Jeehye Song bring together memory, matter and poetic fragments in Florence
Villa Romana presents Tales of Traces, Stones and Moonlight, an exhibition dedicated to Jeewi Lee, Mona Schulzek and Jeehye Song, three artists awarded the Junger Westen Art Prize. The show brings their practices into dialogue through works that explore traces, materials, memory and the subtle presence of time.
The exhibition title evokes a suspended and poetic landscape, where stones, marks, shadows and moonlight become narrative elements. Through different artistic languages, the three artists reflect on what remains visible and what disappears, transforming fragments, surfaces and objects into signs of personal and collective stories.
Their works invite visitors to look closely at details that are often overlooked: imprints, residues, textures and quiet gestures that carry the weight of memory. In this sense, the exhibition becomes a meditation on presence and absence, on the relationship between the physical world and the stories it silently preserves.
Hosted by Villa Romana, one of Florence’s most important spaces for contemporary artistic research and international exchange, Tales of Traces, Stones and Moonlight offers an intimate and layered journey through material, space and imagination.
