Nikki S. Lee's Camouflage
by Jennifer Dalton


*Friendly Aliens* by Alan Fliesler

Korean-American photographer Nikki S. Lee infiltrates different ethnic and cultural groups, becomes friendly with them, and enlists their assistance to help her look like them.


*Matilda's Ballet, Growing up Gay* by T.R. Robertson

In photographs with titles like The Yuppie Project, The Lesbian Project and The Seniors Project, she seamlessly blends in with widely varying subcultures and documents her successful infiltration with snapshot-style photographs.


*Pledge Allegiance* by Lee M. Osborne Jr.

Having been in the U.S. only 6 years, Lee is making photographs that frankly address the debate over assimilation--how quickly and to what extent should immigrants to the U.S. adopt "American" customs, styles and language? At the same time that Lee's work sparks discussion about controversial issues, it also entertains viewers by letting them watch her virtuoso acts of cultural camouflage.
