Nikki 5. Lee: Projects, is part street photography, part performance art. In a series of extraordinary transformations, this young, Korean-born conceptual artist unfolds a multiplicity of lives and identities documented through the lens of her point-and- shoot camera as she becomes a young punk in the East Village, a Connecticut-based exotic dancer, or a senior citizen picking through thrift stores in Murray Hill. Nikki S. Lee is a Korean-born photographer currently based in New York City. Her work has been shown in museums and galleries worldwide, including the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, the Stephen Friedman Gallery London, and Gallery Gan, Tokyo. Solo exhibitions will open at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, this summer.
