Description

Dionne Lee (born in New York, 1988) works across photography, video, and collage to examine histories of land, power, survival, and Black identity in the American landscape.

Lee’s formal interventions and innovative darkroom techniques—including rephotographing found imagery from wilderness survival manuals and using graphite pencils to create inscriptions on her photographs of the landscape—address themes of dispossession, loss, and resilience. Dionne Lee: Currents, the artist’s first monograph, brings together key works from over a decade of Lee’s career alongside essays by award-winning poet Camille T. Dungy and curator Eric Booker, as well as a conversation between Lee and the artist Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill, offering a deeper look at a visionary artist reshaping how we see—and choose to imagine—the great outdoors.
