...年少无知的时候，往往耐不住沉闷，往往动身去寻找一些传奇与悲哀。就这样去了纽约，从孤立无援学起，半年的光景见了不少事情，到底知道生活不过是平凡，无名和琐碎，可歌可泣的事也断不会落在我这般凡人头顶...
...在洛杉矶，我的朋友写那辽阔无边大地的冷漠，在骄阳底，迎面袭来的热气夹杂着无数金发的女子，一律叫玛利亚的女孩子，让他干旱的灵魂滋润、吸啜她们的养分...
...一个女子在一座陌生的城市谋生有多种方法，例如有一种叫au pair的职业，供食供住。她吃饱之余大喊：“城市失火了”。城市不断为自己失火，像儿时在消防车旁围观，有人滚滚落泪，有人逃生，从一个城市逃到另一个城市。
于是我明白——城市叫我们结聚，又叫我们分离。
这似乎就是我对这些都市的一点点记忆。
我滞留在香港，老了，破了产，失去了热情，失去了欲望，也失去了城市的未来。用残留的眷恋写下文字缅怀我那亦散失在城市与城市之间青春和挚爱...

Movie stars from the 80s, from gay icon to decadent abandon; lonesome gaze on strangers and encounters; nude male a la Michelangelo; religious objects of spiritual redemption and desire; meditative landscapes after the photographer's cancer. A perfumed gala of visual senses from the Mishima look of Zhang Yi Mou to a phallic memento mori. The 102 photos in this retrospective transform the gallery into an empire of sensuality that defines the obsession of Julian Lee. The First Retrospective of Julian Lee is an accumulation of Julian s work for the past 30 years. His gay sensibility perfumes his works from the 80 s up to now since he started up as a celebrity photographer for the very Andy Warhol s Interview Magazine look-alike, the Hong Kong City Magazine, the most chic and trend-setting magazine during that period.
