2019

About the Item

Kenji Lim Study for Mapping the Known World (part 2), 2019 Acrylic on unstretched linen 185 x 220 cm Unique copy Kenji Lim is mostly interested in culture, myth, and ecosystems. Land holds stories like a sponge holds water. Or vinegar for that matter. Stories, narratives, and myths permeate the landscape and bubble up in certain places where the membrane between truth and fiction is the thinnest. These are places with a sense of place, where identities are bared and where we are tied to the soil. But is place a construction of the mind longing for belonging? Do we convince ourselves of the importance of a location and the stories tied to it out of a desire to mythologise ourselves and our attachment to the stories of those long gone? Lim explores the contradictory nature of mythology and place through the constructions of the bucolic, wilderness, and the eerie magical worlds in which we re-narrate our histories, creating connections to the fantastical, cosmological, and microbial. By processes of walking through the landscape and by mining personal and cultural memory, he probes the spectral nature of these stories which return again and again, cutting across and through the timelines of those who hear and repeat them. If there is such a thing as connection to a landscape, how do we hold it and what does it mean to us?
