Katie Lees was lead actor in the short film – The Gallery (2012), dir: Nicola Walkerden. ‘The Gallery’ was exhibited at 107 Projects, Sydney.

“In a later short film work, The Gallery, Katie is one of two lead actors, playing the role of a visitor in a gallery who discovers more than an illusion in experiencing an artwork. Katie’s in depth understanding of the differing and complex spatial elements involved in playing both an actor and audience member at the same time in the gallery shows an intelligence and willingness to adopt challenging characters and enhance the conceptual nature of space in a production through performance. Her courage and creativity in applying her existing knowledge and experience to build upon direction and dialogue in the script meant that her interpretation of the character and transforming space of the gallery contributed greatly to the success and reception of this work.”
