If the prosthesis is traditionally conceived to artificially replace a missing limb, the detachable body parts in Yein Lee’s sculptures play with the possibility to modify, rejuvenate, and enhance one’s body with biotech extensions. Encapsulated in egg-shaped plastic membranes – as if they were still-growing organs or commodities wrapped in cellophane – these metallic black prostheses can be ordered at the kiosk display and mounted to the body. As such, they become figurations of a shifting conception of the human body as a permeable and open system, where the boundaries of the biological body are pushed by prosthetic augmentation.
