Biography

Lotus L. Kang sensitively cultivates installations which unearth porous connections between the human body and the world at large. Working with a myriad of materials, such as silicone, thread, film and foodstuffs, Kang weaves together recognisable objects such as mixing bowls, doors, or fruit and resituate these items in an otherworldly context­. Acting as an alchemist, Kang is eager to document processes of flux or decay which might evolve during the installation. Experimenting with photographic materials, Kang incorporates darkroom chemicals, photographic paper and tanned film to track organic movements of light in the space.
