Florence Yuk-ki Lee is an artist and filmmaker whose art practice encompasses experimental animation, video sculpture, painting, and publishing. 

Assembling and staging ephemeral bodies, personal stories, and poetic visual metaphors in her practice, Lee unearths ideas and inspirations from her daily encounters in Hong Kong—the city where she grew up—to investigate the multilayered connection between herself and her cultural identity. Her animation works comprise digitally hand-drawn frames that flow seamlessly from one to another, evoking numerous micro-narratives summoned from her personal memories, experiences and social shifts. Emotionally charged, Lee’s work extracts the poetic from the mundane to explore the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Lee graduated from Central Saint Martins in United Kingdom, with a BA in Graphic Communication Design (Moving Image Specialism) in 2016. She later obtained an Master of Fine Art from City University of Hong Kong in 2022.

She has received international recognition at prestigious film festivals for her M+ commissioned animated short film Park Voyage (2022) and her directorial debut, Elephant in Castle (2021). She was nominated for the Annecy International Animation Festival in France for two consecutive years, selected for Animafest Zagreb in Croatia, Fantoche International Animation Film Festival in Switzerland, Kuandu International Animation Festival in Taiwan and Sydney Film Festival in Australia, among others. 

She has exhibited and screened her work at various art institutions and galleries, including M+ Museum, Floating Projects in Hong Kong, Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei, Museum of National Taipei University of Education in Taiwan, Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, Centre Pompidou online video series in France, Artside Gallery in Seoul and Chengdu Art Museum in China, among others. Her recent solo exhibitions include “Starlit Oceans of Distant Lands” at Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (Taiwan, 2025), “Let it sprout beneath my skin” at Artside Gallery (Seoul, 2024) and “Broken heart pieces disco ball” at MOU PROJECTS (Hong Kong, 2023). Her works have been acquired for the permanant collection of M+ Museum and Akeroyd Collection.
