An evocation of blue skies drifts into view, made up of a painted stainless-steel panel, illuminated by layers of projected images. These images drift across the flat plane of the wall and interact with the surface of steel, lending a depth and ambiguity to the image construction. Like idly gazing into the sky, this assemblage engenders a feeling of contemplation and wonder. It is a slow encounter that grounds you in your own body and locates you in some approximate nature. The image is accompanied by soft lounge music, that further produces a sense of contemplation and quietude. But this serenity is occasionally punctured by what sounds like breaking glass or some other minor calamity. This break in the illusion points us toward the material conditions of the work. It is a depiction of light made of light; light powered by the beam of a projector. Its shimmering sublime surface is just that – a surface painted on shiny steel. Combined, we sink into the seductive illusion of space and wonderment and yet we are never fully allowed to escape the social and architectural conditions of its making. Cloud talks (III) is another iteration of Lee Kit’s signature immersive bricolage series, and as in past versions, we continue to see subtitles punctuate the scene. These fragments of text allude to personal conversations and observations concerning others. This lends a narrative element to the work and offers an ambiguous, character-driven impulse to an otherwise atmosphere-oriented experience. In locating others within the scene, we become aware of the interaction of people with nature and the relational politics involved in all facets of experience. By extension, we become aware of ourselves and the environment we truly find ourselves in. This offers a moment of reflection that runs deeper than the so-called immersive experience and spectacle of reproducing nature. It offers the possibility of an embodied experience, not contingent on a desire to escape but on a simple confrontation with reality. We might encounter the silhouette of others interrupting the projector beam, we may find our own bodies making a shadowy cameo. It quietly asks us to consider nature as a construction of some kind, in a world where human interaction, conflict and co-operation are central to our experience of everything.
