2026
Hi, I'm domenik carl lee!
I am an artist. I work with light, movement, weight, relationship, soil, seed. I work with my hands and my feet and my spine and my heart. My tools are cameras, a good sharp knife, a curious and improvising mind. I pressed the shutter on my first camera in 1991 I made my first dance in 1997 I designed my first vegetable garden in 2006 I have been blessed to weave a life of work around these three passions. In collaboration, this work centers on the relationships themselves: between kingdoms, species, elements, cameras, stages, and screens. My approach to this partnering work is through tuning the perceptual agency of the participants--the audience, the performer, the chef-- and tuning my own attention to see what is possible as the camera operator, the mover, the farmer. I am concerned with the issues of consent and communication that permeate discussions in contemporary life, searching for the places where we can find ourselves vulnerable and explore intimacy to find empowerment. I am body-positive, sex-positive, positively queer, and wary of toxic positivity. Sometimes I am also funny. What can we share in this very moment? What is being offered? What is being taken? How am I reciprocating the abundance I have been given? What do I need right now?
