“Visions of Monstrosity,” October 26 at 10AM MST / 12PM EST / 7PM CET

Over the course of last decade or so, I have focused on the overlapped and accumulated layered lines of daily images that I capture from my personal daily surroundings.As anAsian American artist, a person of color who haslived in the states for more than 20 years, I carry a deep pain in the fact that a part of my identity is unseen and invisible. I want to reveal each tedious mundane movement in everyday life. I am interested in finding non-historical monotonous moments and making the moments visible on screen, which is constantly appearing, changing, aging, disappearing, and repeating on the same screen. Employing these time-intensive, repetitive and meticulous techniques, I often make hundreds of drawings and prints to make a few minute-long animations. I work with prints and moving image installations, focusing on the figurative or abstract lines and silhouettes of everydayness that are reflected from personal daily surroundings -the different geographic and culturalmilieus through which I have lived and passed and the travels between my two home countries, South Korea and the United States. In this panel discussion, “Vision of Monstrosity” I would like to share some of my previous moving images that reflect the theme ofthe migratory subject,being unseen and invisible — Kakyoung Lee

In addition to the previous works, I would like to share a couple of recent works that reflect a sense of anxiety and threat caused by the recent pandemic situation and global warming — Kakyoung Lee
