Elevators in the Construction site (2021)
These print series capture the movement of two exposed elevators in the construction site throughout the day. I've been tracking a construction site across my apartment since the demolition of the previous building in 2019. During Covid 19 quarantine, checking the progression of the construction every time I went out for brief errands was a hope that this civilization had not yet collapsed. I got interested in the construction site as visual art and a performance score. How a static site changes its use and meaning by the building shares the beauty of printmaking; the same impression of the matrix could change paper or surfaces' contexts and feelings. I focused on the exposed elevators in the construction site to deliver the sense of both stationary and moving. Playing with the registration of 8 layers of simplified elevator impression and three building layers, I wanted to think about the possibility of lithography and construction site.
