Discover Mire Lee’s awe-inspiring new installation for Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall.
Drawing inspiration from Tate Modern’s history as a power station, Mire Lee transforms the Turbine Hall with striking hanging sculptures and epic mechanical installations, reimagining the space as a living factory. A fascinating mix of materials such as silicone and chains bring her creations to life and challenge our ideas of what is beautiful, perverse, provocative and desirable. Open Wound invites us to revel in contradictory emotions: from awe and disgust to compassion, fear and love.
Both repulsive yet curiously compelling, Mire Lee’s kinetic sculptures explore notions of sexuality and desire.




Tate Modern is one of the world’s most iconic museums of modern and contemporary art, located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. Occupying the former Bankside Power Station, the museum’s dramatic industrial architecture—most notably its cavernous Turbine Hall—has made it a destination for art lovers and architectural enthusiasts alike.
