When I met Lee at a former steel warehouse turned studio in the Mullae-dong area of Seoul in January, he told me he was juggling a number of projects. The next day, he was due to travel to Malaysia to film the final segment of “Made In” that will premiere at the Venice Biennale. Accompanying this will be Proper Time and Mr. K and the Collection of Korean History (2017), a large-scale project that narrates the life of the semi-fictitious “Mr. K,” loosely based on a man called Kim Kimoon who lived from the 1930s to 2011.
