Leekyung Kang explores undiscovered structures in contemporary urban spaces, as well as the world hidden beneath the surface, and experiments with them using multiple visual languages. Through paintings, prints, and installation works, she reinterprets her interests in invisible realms within reality, including abandoned areas in GPS navigation programs or the dark matter of the underworld. In this exhibition, Kang suggests her own spatial thinking and concept of circulation while presenting objects, architectural structures, and unfamiliar images extracted from data collected during collaboration across physics, astronomy, and geography. Moreover, she induces expanded visual experiences through work that transcends the boundaries between the visible and invisible.
