Note du spécialiste
Paradise is the theme of Lee's series Nine Clouds Dream, based on Kim Manjung's 17th century tale of a young man who marries eight beautiful maidens and achieves wealth and status only to wake up from a drunken stupor to discover that his life was a dream. In this composite photograph, the classical novel is turned into a computer game and the central character is the Dragon Princess, one of the eight wives, who stands on a golden fish -- a symbol for the Taoist concept of eternal life.
