megan LUCILLE
Megan Lucielle is a multidisciplinary artist based in Seoul, South Korea, whose practice moves fluidly between black-and-white film photography, filmmaking, performance, installation, textiles, ceramics, music, writing, and most recently, knitting.
Rather than committing to a single medium, Megan allows each idea to determine its own form.
Her creative process is deeply intuitive, guided less by planning and more by listening to what her body feels called to create. Whether she’s working with yarn, film, sound, or performance, the common thread throughout her practice is herself. As she describes it, when you encounter the work, you know Megan made it.
The body serves as the nucleus of her practice. Through nude portraiture, performance, and material exploration, she examines vulnerability, memory, transformation, and the complexities of lived experience. Much of her work exists in the tension between beauty and discomfort, finding ways to make “ugly” things beautiful without erasing their weight.
One of her most personally significant works was a 12-hour performance piece in which she continuously walked while revealing a dress constructed from files related to her rape case. By transforming legal documents into a wearable object, the work reclaimed ownership over a deeply personal narrative and turned evidence into expression.
Another favorite performance, Things I Carried, invited participants into a shared emotional experience. Megan carried suitcases with long strings attached while audience members held onto them, creating a physical connection between artist and viewer. Throughout the performance, screams echoed through the space, transforming invisible emotional burdens into something tangible and collective.
While her materials and methods constantly evolve, Megan’s practice remains rooted in intuition, embodiment, and transformation. Whether knitting a textile piece, capturing an image on film, or staging a performance, she follows the medium that feels most honest to the idea, allowing each work to become its own language.
