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.

Documentation from public processional where community members helped activate the tapestry. Stitched in isolation, the 100 foot long story-scroll records the cascade of extreme weather and news events that occurred each month of 2020. In collaboration with other Rebecca Pristoop and The Moving Company and Friends, the project is an evolving invitation for public procession and collective meaning exploring the malleability of memory and symbols, seeking to stimulate curiosity and wonder toward the natural world through movement, color and form.

Illuminator centers itself around a sexless wing finned figure, embedded with candles and barnacles--a humanoid candelabra--dripping, melting and congealing fleshy, gilded wax, presiding over a floor painting depicting the Fall of Babylon as an upside down city from Bamberg Apocalypse 1000 A.D. Working within the liminal space of pictures and words, Illuminator draws on imagery produced by anonymous authors of medieval manuscripts.
