Lotus L. Kang: In Cascades

Lotus L. Kang works with sculpture, photography and site-responsive installation. Known for her sprawling installations and distinctive material repertoire, Kang’s practice is a dialogue with the impermanent and the in between. Elegantly disordered and richly layered, her site-sensitive works explore the relational bonds between time, personal history, and cultural knowledge. She seeks to disrupt a human-centred perspective of the world with a broad curiosity for life and matter tangled in states of exchange that produce and are reproduced by their environments. Selected exhibitions include: In Cascades, Chisenhale Gallery, London (2023); Fleshing Out The Ghost, Deborah Schamoni, Munich (2023); and Mesoderm, Franz Kaka, Toronto (2023), among many others.
