光影作坊呈獻《時間獨白 Monologue of Time》李美娟個展，展出藝術家李美娟最新的藝術創作。她不斷嘗試以時間作為創作的手法和物料，而光和紙的自然變化成為她近年創作及關注的媒介。
攝影－透過收集光線的變化產生影像，是光與時間的交互作用而成。從攝影歷史和起源出發，以文本 “The Pencil of Nature” 的記錄為依據，藝術家李美娟嘗試把時間及空間平面化及視覺化。「從無形轉化為有形」這概念成為創作的一部份，以不同形式呈現時間和歷史、記憶的關係。作品的非物質及非特定的不確定性，是時間被光與影記錄下來的過程與結果。當中所表現的更是藝術家對光線、時間、空間及物像等的意義及存在與否的探討。時間在作品裡是流動、沉澱、累積、停留、重疊的，互相影響下繼而演變成作品本身。藝術家李美娟把這一系列的作品名為「時間繪畫」。
是次展覽，藝術家李美娟利用「時間繪畫」創作方法，讓影像隨時間轉變，巧妙地創作出以有形的影像展現無形的概念，嘗試理解和演譯「時間繪畫」與攝影兩者之間的微妙關係。
Lumenvisum is proud to present Carol Lee Mei Kuen’s solo exhibition “Monologue of Time”, which showcases Lee’s latest art creation. She has kept trying to employ time as both the material and means of her art making. The changes in light and its reaction with paper become her concerning art creation media in recent year.
Photography, produce image by collecting the change in light, is the interaction of light and time. Based on the records in “The Pencil of Nature” and the origin and history of photography, Lee has made time and space two-dimensional and visible. “From invisible transform into visible”, this idea become part of the art creation, presenting the relationship between time, history and memories in diverse form. Lee’s works are full of non-material and non-specific uncertainties, It is the process and the result of the record about how time is being captured by light and shadow. In between, Lee tries to explore the meaning and the existence of light, time, space and object.In her works, time flows, settles, accumulates, stays, stacks up, interacts and evolves. Time is the works themselves. She names the way she develops her works “time drawing”.
In this exhibition, Lee makes use of “time drawing”, to transform image by time. ingeniously, Lee creates visible image from invisible concept, attempting to understand and interpret the subtle relationship between “time drawing” and photography.
