Origin
Daniel Lee (US)

“‘Origin’ was a series of manipulated photo images and animation created in 1999. It describes the human evolution based on my own imagination. I suggest that there were ten stages in human evolution, from the fish form (as Coelacanth) and then transformed to the reptile, monkey and human...
My motivation came from the up coming millennium. The new millennium (year of 00) reminds me of the grand beginning of everything. My concept started a few months after the “New York Times Magazine” gave me the opportunity to create a self-portrait which applied to a special technology issue in 1997. I made a sequence of four portraits which show our past as the monkeys and our future in perspective. To push it further, I supposed that all of the mammals, the reptiles and even the fishes were all related to us originally.”
