A review: Nikki S. Lee: Parts at Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art
From the website: Lee first gained recognition for her combination of performance and photography with Projects, a five-year series of photographs begun in 1997 that demonstrated Lee's ability to change identities and become a part of a variety of different subcultures and social and ethnic groups-yuppies, punks, young Hispanic women, strippers, suburban skateboarders. Lee observed each group, adopted their mannerisms and ways of dressing, and became a part of their social scene.
I prefer/admire photographers who spend time with their subjects, compared to those who get something by going in and out fast. Of course, Lee elbows the subjects to the edges of the frame. That's cool, too.
