Luis “Junyee” Yee, Jr.: A Portrait of an (National) Artist as Filipino Photo by Richie Macapinlac. 2021 ARTIST’S PROFILE   I first met Junyee when I was a student at the University of the Philippines in the early seventies. Together with some artist friends, we would later visit him when he began living in the campus of UP, Los Banos, which has become his home and a source of indigenous materials and inspiration for the site-specific installations for which he became widely known as the pioneer of installation art not just in the Philippines but in Southeast Asia. Those were halcyon days, walking and talking amidst the lush forestry and mountain trails at the base of Mount Makiling.
