Sand – Fragments – Motion, 2024 – Jeewi Lee x Phillip C. Reiner

"Sand – Fragments – Motion" presents three sculptures from the ongoing Fragments series at Sexauer Gallery's showroom. Lee's three sand grain works occupy a single white pedestal; Katja Aufleger shows concurrently in the same space. The showroom format creates intimate viewing conditions distinct from the main gallery's Field of Fragments exhibition. Where the gallery installation emphasized scale contrast between smaller Fragments and meter-high Proximity sculptures, the showroom concentrates on the Fragments' tactile presence and material recursion: sand as both subject and substance, each grain a carrier of geological memory and a unit in a depleting global resource. The exhibition ran concurrent with Field of Fragments. Each sculpture is a nano-CT scanned grain, 3D printed in the same material at 130-500x enlargement. The smaller format and concentrated presentation allow sustained attention to individual grains — surface topographies, fracture patterns, mineral traces — that the larger show distributes across multiple works and scales.
