Lectus explores ideas of transparency and opacity, fragility and strength, and safety and privacy – not as each other's ‘opposites’ but rather as inseparable, in non-opposition. The exhibition challenges the notion that representation is synonymous with visibility and that perceiving is synonymous with knowing. Taking its title from the Latin word lectus, meaning 'to read', this exhibition aims to think through the ways that we transmit and receive information and the ways it is simultaneously withheld from us.
