Press Release -
To distill a feeling you must still your feelings.
But the mind is its own mirage, the desert a looking-glass.
Making pictures in Israel and Palestine was above all an emotional challenge. My photographs usually deal with something eternal in the landscape, but in this place the layers of history and conflict, fear and hostility, frustrated my camera. I happened to travel a lot in the West Bank, not for any political purpose, but because I liked the landscape between the cities. I tried to gaze at the land, without prejudice or judgement. I didn't want to deal with the masks of the people and I didn't want to put on my own mask. I wanted to see it as the olive tree sees it. But I felt overwhelmed by the realities around me. I felt sad and uncomfortable much of the time, and I found ...
Jungjin LEE, artiste coréenne, vit aux États-Unis depuis 1988. Diplômée en photographie de l'Université de New York, elle fut assistante de Robert Frank.
Elle pratique d'abord une photographie à caractère documentaire, mais s'oriente dans les années quatre-vingt-dix vers une recherche formelle où la matière photographique est traitée avec la plasticité du dessin, réalisant de grands tirages sur des papiers sensibilisés à l'argent.

Cette recherche formelle est portée par une sensibilité à fleur de peau, une pratique de la photographie qui l'engage totalement, véritable mise en question existentielle. Attirée par les lieux dés...
Jungjin Lee: Unnamed Road/Everglades will present photographs from two recent series. Unnamed Road is a body of work on Israel and the West Bank; with Everglades, Lee turns her focus to the Florida Everglades.
Jungjin Lee’s photography is imbued with elemental vastness and wonder. A former assistant of Robert Frank, she creates meditative landscapes with a unique interplay between image and material, capturing moments in time that are uniquely her own. Using a multilayered process that integrates elements of painting, Lee’s photographs exude a materiality not often found in photography. She aims to find “a fundamental essence of things being captured through my intuition, the inner state of my mind, beyond my thinking.”
Lee was one of twelve renowned photographers who traveled to Israel and ...
Les lieux photographiés par Jungjin Lee ont une présence étrange. Tels des paysages mentaux, ils semblent naître d'un rêve plutôt que décrire une réalité. Certes, la matière des tirages fait songer à du dessin et contribue à cette perception, mais c'est d'abord le regard de l'artiste, son choix d'une photographie "méditative" qui explique cette sensation singulière. Jungjin Lee ne photographie pas les paysages pour en documenter tel ou tel aspect : c'est sa propre présence au monde qu'elle cherche à explorer, à interroger.
