Artist Statement

For this second event in the Dynamic Range series hosted by the NSCAD University’s Photography Department, Dr. Zun Lee (he/him) returns after his first visit to our community in 2019. In an intimate conversation with Adrian Fish, Dr. Lee will share a survey of his body of work and how he has sustained his career as a self-taught, independent artist. He will offer pragmatic insight into how he conceptualizes and makes work for different projects, how he deals with personal and professional challenges in an ever-changing cultural and geopolitical environment, and his thoughts on the state and future of photography.
