YEE I-LANN

Born in 1971 in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia; lives and works in Kuala Lumpur.

Yee graduated from the University of South Australia (Adelaide, Australia) with a Bachelor

 of Arts (Visual Arts) in 1993 with a major in Photography and a minor in Cinematography.

 Her work has been exhibited in museums and international biennials. She has gained recognition internationally for her distinctive photomedia-based practice which seeks resonances across

 history, landscape, memory and cultural identity. Such layers necessitate an extensive and 

multi-layered visual vocabulary drawn from historical references, popular culture, archives 

and everyday objects. Recent group exhibitions include Curators’ Series #7.
