No. 4. Jung Lee at Green Art Gallery, Dubai. Korean photographer Lee has made a big splash over the past two years, exhibiting in Seoul and, in this case, Dubai her “Aporia” and “Day and Night” series—lush photographs of sentimental, romantic phrases written in neon and set amidst harsh, often barren landscapes. Her work is inspired by a Roland Barthes essay, A Lover’s Discourse, in which an allegorical figure endlessly searches for signs that he is in love.
