Sharon Lee is an artist who focuses on the photographic process in the form of analogue-digital hybrids as well as transmutations involving various sculptural materials.
Sharon Lee’s (b. 1992 Hong Kong) art practice has been (re-)approaching micro-perspectives of ‘small memories’ in countering the grand historical narrative and resisting the overloaded image representations in the post-photography era. The practice is inseparable from her art research challenging the cultural concept of “disappearance” through a conceptual and technical strategy of “re-” grounded in the post-photography discourse. In reiteration and reconfiguration, Lee experiments with the photographic process in the form of analogue-digital hybrids as well as transmutations involving various sculptural materials.
