The Schoolgirls Project (19)
In this work from her ongoing "Projects" series, Nikki S. Lee captures herself seamlessly blending into a group of young schoolgirls, adopting their dress, mannerisms, and social dynamics through her signature practice of immersive role-playing. The chromogenic print documents Lee's chameleon-like ability to inhabit different cultural and social identities, raising questions about the performative nature of identity, belonging, and the construction of the self. The snapshot-style photograph mimics the casual, candid aesthetic of everyday social documentation, further blurring the line between authentic experience and deliberate artistic fabrication.
