In Cascades is Canadian artist Lotus Laurie Kang's first book, delving into the political and emotional forces at play in her installations and photography.
Accompanying the first solo exhibition in Europe by Canadian artist Lotus Laurie Kang, In Cascades brings together original and poignant material including two never-before-seen photographic series; concrete poetry by the award-winning CAConrad; an insightful and personal interview with Kang conducted by CAConrad; and an essay by Estelle Hoy, writer and author of Pisti, 80 Rue de Belleville (After 8 Books, 2020).
These contributions feature alongside original texts by the exhibition's curator Amy Jones and Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive's Senior Curator Victoria Sung, accompanied by a foreword by Zoé Whitley, Director of Chisenhale Gallery, and Matthew Hyland, Executive Director of Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver.
From genetics and family migrations to memory-conjuring foods, this book is a testament to the political and emotional forces that shape a single person.
