Sol Enae Lee
Sol Enae Lee’s work is centered on translation and language semantics, articulating things that cannot be stated in words. She investigates performative and often ephemeral aspects such as movement, music, and light to reflect the constraints of language. Text functions as a point of departure for her work and goes through a continual translation process across multiple media in order to embody texts indifferently and open up spaces.
Sol Enae Lee has exhibited work at Bradwolff Project, The Netherlands; BAK basis voor actuele kunst, The Netherlands; and Venice International Performance Art Week, Italy, among others.
