ARTIST PROFILE
Harry Lee is a contemporary artist and landscape designer who reimagines the timeless ritual of the tea ceremony through immersive environments and ceramic artifacts.
With a foundational career in landscape architecture, Lee previously practiced at the renowned Martha Schwartz Partners in New York. His work is deeply rooted in the concept of "landscape as immersive theater"—a philosophy developed during his time at Harvard University, where his research explored the intersection of public space and performance during the rise of cultural touchstones like Sleep No More.
Today, Lee’s practice spans global stages, including Coachella, Palais Royal, and Nuit Blanche Kyoto. As the founder of Tea J Club (Kyoto) and the Harvard Club Tea Society (New York), he treats tea as a living art form—part performance, part sculpture, and part communal experience.
Lee’s landscape relics are handcrafted at the historic Asahiyaki atelier in Uji, a kiln with over 400 years of history. Established in the 1600s, Asahiyaki is celebrated as one of the Seven Enshu Kilns favored by the legendary tea master Kobori Enshu. Utilizing local clay—often aged for over a century—Lee creates his signature ceramic series: OYSTER, INFERNO, and Neo-Artefacts. Each piece serves as a vessel for a spiritual dialogue between nature and narrative.
李雲烽 (Harry Lee)
景觀設計師、沉浸式藝術家與陶藝家。生於香港,現居京都。
李氏創作的當代器物交織了景觀建築、傳統工藝與舞台設計的語彙。其代表作品系列包括 《Inferno》、《Oysters》 及 《néo-artéfacts》,他以此為核心結合空間設計與表演藝術,構建出獨特的「當代祭儀」。其跨領域實踐曾受邀展出於京都「白晝之夜」(Nuit Blanche Kyoto)、巴黎皇家宮殿(Palais Royal)及京都御所等國際重要地標。
他視「景觀器物」為沉浸式藝術的基石,採集世界各地的「聖水」為媒介,將大自然的能量與時空記憶封存於陶作之中。李氏的作品皆誕生於京都宇治擁有四百年傳承的顯赫窯元——「朝日燒」(Asahiyaki)。在古老工藝與當代精神的交融淬煉下,他的創作重塑了觀者對於空間、物質與儀式感知的邊界。
