PASSERBY
Emulsion on cotton fabric
1994-2022
140x160x2.5 cm
The emulsions’ unique technique allows me to continually re-encounter the ungraspable magic of analogue photography. The work Passerby escapes units of time—seconds, hours, or days. Rather, it offers an experience of subjective time that invites one on a journey. Under the red light of my darkroom, the invisible brushstrokes I apply on the canvas are like breaths—an infinity of traces that bear witness to ourselves.
About Lee Yanor
Lee Yanor (b. 1963, Haifa) is an Israeli artist living and working in Tel Aviv. Trained in photography at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem and at Pratt Institute in New York, she later received her MFA from Université Paris 8.
Yanor’s practice moves between photography, video, and installation, exploring the fragile territory between the body and memory. Through layered visual languages—emulsions on canvas, translucent voile prints, holograms, and multichannel video—her works construct immersive environments in which images appear, dissolve, and re-emerge.
Her work has been presented internationally, including at the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Taipei Fine Arts Museum; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Tony Cragg Foundation, Wuppertal; and the Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv. She is the recipient of the Leon Constantiner Photography Award (Tel Aviv Museum of Art) and the Coreografo Elettronica Prize (MADRE Museum, Naples, Italy).
