How Do You Short Circuit Control
Lee Nevo
2023
East wing, left lobe and middle of the road
How Do You Short Circuit Control (East wing, left lobe and middle of the road) is a new artist's book by Lee Nevo that includes over four hundred photographs taken by Lee with her mobile, during four years spent between four countries – France, Germany, Belgium and Israel. The images are from everywhere – bringing together daily habits, screenshots, text messages, friends and lovers, as well as fragments from her artistic practice, discreetly embedded amongst other references, impressions, fascinations, and obsessions. Each page was personally set and curated by the artist, creating a daring visual journey that rethinks our relationship both with the grid, and with control itself, carving out an ambiguous space that lies where life and art meet, perpetually in limbo.
