Lee Kit's Poetic Micro-Residency Unfolds at Casa Masaccio
Lee Kit's first solo show at an Italian public institution, 'Linger on, your lit-up shade,' opened at Casa Masaccio in Tuscany, anticipating a retrospective in Tokyo. The exhibition features works produced during a micro-residency in the region, including short looped videos, paintings, texts, sound contributions, and everyday objects presented without embellishment. Kit's practice explores the potential of the mundane, capturing quiet, melancholic moments through overlapping videos, stolen phrases, pastel tones, and glimmers in the dark. The architectural features of the space become active participants in the narrative, hidden or emphasized by projections but never filtered through exhibition design. The show runs for two weeks.
