Factory Media Centre is pleased to welcome media artist Lucille Kim for our June exhibition. Partial Solitude will be visible in Factory Media Centre’s street-level rear projection screen from 6-10pm each evening, from June 4 through June 30, 2021.
Project Statement
Many meditation practices utilize natural sound elements to achieve healing, but those familiar sounds do not appear in Partial Solitude. Very subtle and slow transitional movements of ocean waves, boats, and birds force the memory to associate them with its sound. I feel as if I can hear water waving towards the shore, wind swaying the boats, and song-like chirping from the birds. I can “sense” healing. However, straight electrical lines have cut across to suggest that my connection with nature is limited or inaccessible. Thus, I am internally reminiscing behind the foreground of a deconstructed weave mat used as a common seating staple for Cambodian events with family and friends.
About the artist
Lucille Kim is a Cambodian-Canadian artist based in Hamilton. She received an HBA in Art & Art History from University of Toronto in 2015. Environment and language challenge notions of personal, familial, and national identities while past-present states and subtle narratives emerging from memory bring forth a history about violence and its effect upon the human body. Kim’s works exhibited at Xpace Cultural Centre, Bunker 2, Factory Media Centre, and Ace Art Inc.
