Archief voor mei 2008

Nancy Lee (NL)

mei 27, 2008

“My work is graphic, full of lines and curves, repeated patterns, strong colors and movements. It moves from one image to the other, like sequences in our daily activities. To me my photographs are like a multicultural village with the emphasis on space, high consumption end living life to the max! Our society is under construction. It is on the way to establish and finding its identity on this planet and in this universe.

In order to give this idea the right content I travel around the globe. Being a modern citizen, living in a modern world. With all the new inventions and new technologies, the world is drawn together and becoming smaller. In my world, the boundaries are thin and the cultures are mixed. It almost becomes artificial like a little toy city. Modernization gives us comfort but takes us away from our most basic instincts. This materialistic and glossy world is our comfort zone. Globalization is happening fast. We run the risk to lose our unique identity and originality.”
