About the event
Embodiment・化身｜Leiya Wang Solo Photography Exhibition Information
Created from an experience of personal trauma, these images delve into sexual power dynamics, conveying both a sense of unwanted violence and conflict and a desire for other bodies and their parts. Hugely influenced by Viennese actionism, the action of explicitly presenting the wounds, the scars, and the pain on the bodies probes the viewers’ boundaries. With an unsettling greenish cast, the images register both a feeling of anger and a sensual precision, suggesting a psychological conflict between rationality and unbridled emotions. A sense of catharsis and forgiveness is suggested through metaphors, soft lighting, and careful composition: the subject matter and this project have arrived at a peaceful ending.
