Description

How to Measure Time is an artist’s book by Suwon Lee that explores the relationship between time, identity, and belonging. Through long-exposure photographs of a single clock, the artist produces a different image with each shot, turning a measuring device into a metaphor for the subjective experience of time. She then intervenes these images with text that reflects on multicultural identity, representation, and visibility.

With a precise and evocative visual language, Lee addresses how migration, cultural heritage, and hybrid identities shape the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

Suwon Lee (Caracas, 1977) is a Korean-Venezuelan artist based in Madrid. Her photographic practice explores themes of memory, migration, and multicultural identity. Her work is included in major international collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection.
