An exhibition from our MA Curating Contemporary Art graduating student, Huiyu Lan.
Topic about sense of absence: Body/ Consume/ Ephemeral/ Existence/ Filling/ Object ‘a’/ Desirous State/ Death-driven/ Chaos/ Forgetful/ Eternal Lack/ Melting/ Suffocating/ Satisfying/ Ultimate/ Collective Unconscious/ Reincarnation?
This “objet petit a” is not a tangible item, but a symbolic substitute representing our longing for the lost primordial wholeness. In Lacan’s theory, the sense of lack is central to human existence. This inner void and state of desire drive individuals to continually seek fulfillment—attempting to fill the inner gap—whether spiritually, materially, or emotionally.
Confronting the inherent lack and desire in human nature is an essential step in the pursuit of wholeness.
Private view: 6–10pm, Monday 19 August
