ThisWeekendRoom presents a group exhibition 《Opaque Echoes》 by Hyeree Ro, Donghyuk Lee, and Jinju Lee, on view through January 24, 2026.

Set against a time marked by fragmentation, the exhibition brings together three artists who examine how meaning is recorded, summoned, and constructed within environments where imagination and reality, belief and desire intersect.

Attuned to systems of signs that exist beyond the linearity of physical time, the artists employ strategies of visual reconstruction to address fundamental questions about life. Truth and illusion, trauma and belief, memory and a distorted past, tangible and intangible values quietly reveal themselves within their meticulously constructed works.

Hyeree Ro documents personal identity and bodily sensations shaped by movement and temporal gaps through installation, performance, and video. In this exhibition, rather than linking objects and performances under a single theme, the artist recombines objects that had been mobilized in different projects and presents them anew.

The resulting fragments do not seal themselves into a complete narrative; instead, they form a loose structure that can always be re-stitched.

Donghyuk Lee explores value systems such as belief and faith through imagery drawn from religious doctrine. Recently, he has focused on the word “veni”, which appears seven times in the Book of Revelation—the only prophetic book of the New Testament. He reads this repeated utterance not as a command or declaration, but as an earnest invocation calling something into being.

Rather than proving the existence of a specific entity, his paintings grope toward a still-elusive desire through language, seeking to grasp an existential medium that might allow one to draw closer to it.

Jinju Lee’s paintings are composed of uncanny assemblages of everyday beings gathered from the temporal layers of the past, present, and future. Elements that are omnipresent in our surroundings—such as obscured parts of the body, plants severed from nature, and various tools commonly found in domestic spaces—float across her irregularly shaped canvases and against deep black backgrounds reminiscent of the edge of darkness, contributing to an ineffable atmosphere.
