Iyvone Khoo

Born in Singapore living and working in London, Lyvone uses lens-based media as a means to capture glimpses of an experience, with the camera acting as surrogate eyes. Her practice explores the ephemeral human condition and nature as she observes the phenomenon present in the microcosm and the macrocosmos. Her practice translates these observations into video works, light sculptures, and installations.

AboutLiminality the artist writes, "Something unravels beneath the water's surface. The solid ink carves the fluid space, it paints the definitive moment when a threshold is crossed. Transformation occurs in the process of disintegration. When a dot becomes a line, a line leaves a trace in time. This piece was my reflection on the; fluid mechanism of Painting; the solid form of Sculpture; the non-tactile constitution of Video and Time. Liminality betrays a painting, a sculpture and a video because it maintains a liminal state of continuation and interchangeability."

The title of this video work was borrowed from anthropologist Victor Turner’s description of the concept of Liminality: "...the dissolution of order during liminality creates fluid, malleable situations...” when one go through a rite of passage."
