LEE Kai Chung李繼忠
biography /
Lee Kai Chung performs artistic research on the entanglement of geopolitics, coloniality and their affective fallout. Drawing on his colonial and post-colonial lived experiences, Lee explores how human and more-than-human entities stay with life, death and troubles.
From his early explorations of postcolonial archival systems for historiography, Lee has developed an archival methodology that extends to interdisciplinary research-based creative practices, including moving image, critical fabulation, publishing, archives-making and public engagement.
Lee was awarded the Consortium for the Humanities and was a recipient of the Arts Southeast England (CHASE) doctoral studentship from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) (2024). He has received the 18th Busan International Video Art Festival <Selection 2024> prize (2024); Honourable Mention in Sharjah Biennial 15 (2023) and Taoyuan International Art Award (2023); The Robert Gardner Fellowship in Photography from Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of Harvard University (2022), and other accolades.
李繼忠的藝術研究關注地緣政治、殖民性及其情感糾纏。結合自身殖民與後殖民的生命經驗,李氏探討人和「多於人」(more-than-human)如何面對生、死、跟問題同存。
李氏早年從後殖民語境下的檔案系統與歷史書寫切入,逐步建立起一套以檔案研究為基礎的方法論。這套方法隨後拓展至跨學科的藝術實踐,包括影像、批判性虛構、出版、檔案建構與公眾參與。
李氏於2024年獲 The Consortium for the Humanities and the Arts South-east England(CHASE)博士獎學金,以及第18屆釜山國際藝術錄像藝術節(BIVAF)<Selection 2024> 大獎;2023年獲第15屆沙迦雙年展與2023桃源國際藝術獎獲「優選獎」;2022年獲哈佛大學皮博迪考古學和民族學博物館頒發 The Robert Gardner Fellowship in Photography。
