“The Perfect clarity of intelligible light is achieved as a progressive recovery from the
displacement of light, which in the sensible realm is ambiguously differentiated from
unrepresentable material obstacles, like the tain of a mirror, the bodies which cast shadows, the water’s reflective surface, the cloth divider or the walls of the cave.” (Textures of Light: Vision and Touch in Irigaray, Levinas and Merleau Ponty, p.8)
embeddedinvisible invites a group of artists who are working with the key concepts of: visibilityinvisibility; subtlety, light, darkness, and shadow, for finding possibilities in spreading information not directly through light but through shadows and darkness as a response to the existing global politics in relation to the association between information, knowledge and light, as opposed to the dominant knowledge production and distribution systems.... It invites the audience to stay longer at the exhibition area to explore the work that is not explicitly illuminated for the information not to be lost
in visibility but seen within invisibility.
