Jung Lee talks about her haunting photographs and how they relate to our fear of loneliness.

The South Korean artist Jung Lee’s photographs are of barren landscapes, with incongruous neon messages forming a central focus. Her desolate images provoke searching questions about the sense of loneliness which people experience, either in or out of relationships. In an effort to understand Lee’s sparse snapshots, we asked what inspires her, why she chooses to use the messages she does and what she thinks this should mean to her audience.
