Pei Shan Lee is GlogauAIR resident
from July, 2025 to September, 2025
Pei Shan Lee creates art that blends dreamlike images, digital visuals, and sculpture to explore identity in a fast-changing, tech-driven world. Her work reflects on how the idea of “self” is no longer fixed, but made of memories, data, and shifting experiences. Using surrealism and non-Western storytelling, she builds unstable, fragmented spaces that question what it means to exist in a time shaped by technology, disconnection, and constant change.

Statement
Pei Shan Lee’s work flows between dreamlike imagery, generative visuals, and sculpture, centered on the posthuman body, memory, and virtual boundaries. She employs surrealism and non-Western narrative structures to construct fragmented, unstable spaces that reflect the ambiguity and uncertainty of identity amid accelerating technology, cultural displacement, and shifting subjectivities. Lee’s practice responds to a posthuman hybrid reality where the “self” is no longer a fixed entity but a fluid structure composed of data, memory, and fragments. Her works exist in states of dislocation, decay, and the beauty of rupture, quietly questioning the boundaries and meaning of existence in a generation defined by simulation, uncertainty, and continual transformation.
GlogauAIR Project
During this residency, I will continue my research into the unstable boundaries of the human body through artificial extensions such as masks, prosthetics, discarded objects, and ceramics. My work explores metamorphosis as a continuous state—where bodies, identities, and materials shift, fragment, and reorganise beyond fixed categories. Drawing from posthumanist thinking, I am interested in how the self dissolves into hybrid, part-organic, part-synthetic forms. The project combines AI-generated imagery, photography, and sculpture to create spaces where the familiar turns unsettling, evoking the strange tension between organic transformation and synthetic presence. Through this, I explore how identity becomes fluid, fragmented, and quietly uncanny.
