Toronto's most prestigious contemporary art venue, the Power Plant, is currently presenting Auto Emotion: Autobiography, Emotion and Self-fashioning, featuring multimedia works by Yayoi Kusama, Nikki Lee, Sophie Calle and others. While autobiographical narratives in contemporary art are frequently self-indulgent, the artists in Auto Emotion speak provocatively about relationships, voyeurism and fragmentation.

Nikki Lee's compelling photo series entitled Parts features lonely and tension-filled self-portraits. While Lee poses, taking on a variety of fictional personas, the constant elements are her presence among shabby surroundings and the companionship of an unknown male with parts of his body (and identity) cut off by the edges of the frame. Travelling through a concrete jungle or lounging in a seedy motel, the many Nikkis are never alone yet always isolated.
