Minho Lee (1959-) is an artist from Seoul, Korea. She started her career as a painter in Paris in 1990, then moved on to photography in the late 1990’s.
Her consistent theme is “lost identity and anonymity.” In the series “Portable Landscape” in 2009 she nested a picture in another one so that different times and/or spaces can coexist in one frame. She continued this inquiry in “Strange Site” in 2012 by digitally processing fragments of photos that are unrelated with each other in order to free them from their original context. These patchworks of landscapes, which are composed of pictures she took in her everyday life, vividly illustrate not only our society in which all reality is replaced with simulacra, but also some kind of mixture of the personal, inner history and the history of art in the art world today.
