Voice
Jungjin Lee
Voice is the newest book by Jungjin Lee, an artist known for her large-scale, black and white landscapes printed on mulberry paper.
Voice begins with Pablo Neruda’s “La poesía” [Poetry], which is about the poet discovering his craft. Lee’s book similarly carries the rhythm of poetry. She arranges the work into various sections that she separates with black pages — something like res notes in music, or the space between stanzas.
Each of these “stanzas” expresses a richness of texture and form. There is almost no empty space in Lee’s photographs. Instead, these negative spaces are filled with heavy grain — a slow, sustained note in her more elaborate composition.
Voice is gorgeously printed and bound by Nazraeli Press.
