Transparency is a matter of perception in Eva Lee’s video installation, Winter’s Veil, a meditation on the ever-changing qualities of light and matter that continues her fascination with science and notions of reality within the microscopic world of particles. Lee’s animated video punctures the mirrored surface of the Tea Room’s looking glass, alters our point of reference, and effectively replaces the illusion of reflection with the illusion of transparency. A view through a microscopic lens now resembles a view out a window, revealing the surprise of an imagined sequence of journeys into the inner world of invisible matter. The dimensional shifts, a virtual record of the movement of Lee’s hand, resembling both cosmic forms and tiny atoms in the stark monochromatic tones of winter snow. www.christiansonlee.com/evalee.htm
