Vernissage to the Art Exhibition “Photographs” by Jungjin Lee

21.02.2024

Jungjin LEE is a Korean artist who has lived in the USA since 1988. She studied photography at New York University and was an assistant to Robert Frank.

She initially took documentary photographs, but in the 1990s she turned to a formal search in which the photographic material is treated with the plasticity of drawing by treating the image carriers with light-sensitive liquid. This formal search is supported by a sensibility that completely absorbs her and represents a truly existential challenge.

She is drawn to desert places, rocks and waterscapes. Her photography is the capture of a mental landscape. For Jungjin Lee, photography is an inner adventure, a meditation.

Her works are represented in numerous collections and museums such as the Metropolitan Museum New York, Whitney Museum, New York, Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, etc.
