Lotus Laurie Kang Three Brothers

May 1–31,  2009

A trio of real-life brothers performs for
the camera, creating a surrealism that
merges fact and fiction. Kang explores
the psychology and dynamics of blood
relations with Three Brothers, curiously
photographing her father and his
brothers.

Lotus Laurie Kang, a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist, holds a BFA in photography from Concordia University and an MFA from Milton Avery School of the Arts at Bard College in New York. She creates installations that concern the body and the forces that shape it. Drawing on biology, feminist theory and even science-fiction, Kang’s work reveals the body as a process, always in a state of becoming, forevermore in relation to other bodies and environments around us. She draws on her Korean heritage, often altering, elevating and preserving materials that shaped her upbringing in thought-provoking ways.
