Artist Ji Lee creates miniature rooms of furniture, and installs them on ceilings!
People fill the floor of their homes with furniture and walls with paintings and pictures. So why are the ceilings left empty? Decorating ceilings was a celebrated art form in the past centuries that somehow got lost through the reductionism of modernism. People don't look at the ceiling anymore. It's a dead space. So I wanted to bring a small wink to this space. I also liked the idea that somehow there's a parallel world which coexists with ours.
One of the installations in Lee's Parallel Worlds project includes R2D2 and a hippo! http://pleaseenjoy.com/project.php?cat=1&subcat=&pid=75&navpoint=4 -via Laughing Squid

I used to break the boundaries of dead or forgotten space with my photographs, collaging them onto the floor, up onto the ceiling, and into tight spaces. The commercially-minded people dismissed me as punk and anti-art but I was quite the opposite.
