Dan Lie

In Dan Lie’s practice time is the central pillar of the reflection. Since the oldest and affective memory - bringing family and personal stories - until the time of things in the world, the period of a lifetime, and the duration of the elements stages. Through installations, objects and hybridization of art languages - using the things as they are - the work creates bridges with performance art concepts such as an art based on time, ephemerality and presence. To highlight these three instances, elements that have the time contained in itself are set in the space, as installations, such as decaying matter, growth of plants, fungi and the body. In his research, the look is facing tensions and breaking a binary thought between science and religion, ancestry and present, death and life.
