Entering the twelfth year of Swire Properties’ partnership with Art Basel Hong Kong, the fair’s hallmark Encounters sector, dedicated to large-scale projects, will return featuring an offsite installation Doan by Sydney/Gadigal-based, First Nations Australian artist Daniel Boyd, on view at Pacific Place from 21 March to 7 April. The title of the work means “darkness” in the Yugambeh language of the Aboriginal Australian people of south-east Queensland. The site-specific installation comprises a newly created moving image work, a mirrored stage floor, and window treatment which plays on the movement of light throughout the day. Employing dots as both a visual and conceptual element, the work explores themes of identity, memory, perception, and history. Doan invites visitors to move through the installation and to reconsider individual and collective ways we view an ever-evolving idea of the past, present, and future.
