ABSTRACT
Eugenie Lee is a Korean-Australian artist whose performance installations invite participants into the experience of the little-understood condition of persistent, or chronic, pain. This chapter engages specifically with the curation and presentation of Lee’s live work Seeing Is Believing (2016–2018), her partnerships across neuroscience research and her employment of experimental medical and virtual-reality technologies within her practice. The chapter engages with ideas of curatorial care in relation to the artist’s lived experience of persistent pain and for the participants who open themselves up to an awareness of the condition through the pain experience itself.
