ARTIST STATEMENT:
For 36 hours, I followed a local busker through the streets, observing the spaces between performance and pause. The camera became a way of staying close—of noticing the gestures, silences, encounters, and small rituals that might otherwise pass unnoticed. This series is less concerned with the spectacle of street performance than with the person within it. Through moments of movement and stillness, the photographs explore presence, place, and the fleeting connections between a musician and the ever-changing world around them. What emerges is a portrait shaped not by performance alone, but by the quiet spaces surrounding it: a life lived in public, while moments of solitude remain just beneath the surface.
ARTIST BIO:
Jen Zee is a Provincetown photographer, teacher, theater kid, art-world wanderer, and general participant in the beautiful chaos that is life at the tip of the Cape. Behind the camera, they worked with the Boatslip, Provincetown Magazine, The Provincetown Theater, and for a variety of special events documenting the people, personalities, sunsets, shenanigans, and everyday magic that make Provincetown unlike anywhere else. Their work has been featured in GayCities, Boston Spirit Magazine, The Provincetown Independent, and The Boston Globe. By day, they teach four-year-olds at the Provincetown IB World Schools, where they’re reminded daily that imagination is serious business—and glitter is sometimes just part of the curriculum. When they’re not photographing or teaching, you’ll likely find them somewhere in Provincetown’s wonderfully tangled theater and artist community: making something, helping make something, or enthusiastically wandering into something they absolutely did not plan on doing. They believe Provincetown is best experienced with an open heart, a curious eye, and a camera nearby.
