Becky Yee Photography edit
Upon moving back to New York in 2008, Yee has been busy with exhibitions and also reestablishing herself as a versatile photographer in her editorial, commercial and curated work. Her work was displayed at the 2008 Media Facades Festival in Berlin, Germany.[2] One of her first exhibitions was "More Than A Woman" at HPGRP Gallery.[3][4] This was a controversial exhibition that chronicles a man in Tokyo, who proclaims to be the world's largest collector of "Dutch Wives" (Datchu-waifu) with over 70 anatomically correct, life-sized sex dolls. Yee continues to develop projects and exhibitions that utilize photography, video, music and other media to create unique images that show the provocative and vulnerable side of her subjects and topics.
