Is it always there?, 2015
Paintings, video projection and video
In his practice, Lee Kit works with everyday materials such as fabric or cardboard to address ordinary daily rituals and the uses we give them. In this work he examines the moment one feels ‘the darkness’ – a mysterious entity ‘like a piece of metal or a black object’, omnipresent and fundamental to existence, but which is necessarily ignored. The darkness can appear suddenly under a multitude of circumstances – on a journey, in dreams or on looking back at personal and social history.
Is it always there? consists of a new series of paintings and video works that explore these encounters, in an environment made for wandering and the contemplation of sensations of existence.
