Joyce Yu-Jean Lee First Light, 2012 Single-channel video projected onto floor, approximately 4’ x 6’, 6:49 min looped
Joyce Yu-Jean Lee creates video installations and photographs that examine how various societies have historically depicted concepts of enlightenment. The life-size video floor projection, “First Light”, playfully challenges the figure in space by shifting the conven- tional viewing perspective. A white light grows from a single point on the floor, into a spotlight, and finally into a void from which the figure encapsulated within climbs out. The viewer standing from above watches the floor transform from a picture plane into a surface, a void, and negative space. First Light, explores ideas of illumination and spiritual rebirth through formal play with pictorial space.
