During my art class last semester we were required to go to different museums and review different types of artist, Nikki S. Lee was just one of the different artist we discussed. I never heard of her before that class but i love her work now especially the projects which features her posing in pictures with different types of people from skateboarder,lesbians, and senior citizens to Korean school girls, hip hop artist and fans. The idea behind projects was to investigate the ideas of identity, she'd spend various amounts of time with these different group to immerse herself in their identities. In doing this she challenges our concept of self/group identities because she so easily slips in and out of each sub culture. Because of the makeup and costumes used I probably wouldn't be able to recognize her, nonetheless She's a fly artist/photographer and the pictures speak for themselves...
