The Darkroom That is Not Dark

Magician Space, Beijing, 2016

This exhibition unfolds by evoking a milieu of transient and darkened private spaces typically found within public environments. Rooms have been dimmed down, looking to heighten a psychic moment of obscurity – a feeling often felt in enclosures of removed intimacy and when a change occurs in the transition going from one persona into another. Like the seclusion of a photographic room where images appear in the dark; the enclave with a shadow that lurks inside an aquarium; or the hidden room where things considered taboo or suppressed emerge out of their anonymity. There is a dark, secret side to each person’s heart, which harbours deep feelings that cannot always be discussed. What happens if these spaces are no longer in the dark?
