Solo Exhibition by Liu Liling 刘俐灵

19 – 27 July 2025

Comma Space is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Liu Liling.

In this presentation, Liu explores the element of light as both the subject and source for her image-making. Enlarged to different scales within an enclosed square space, her images function as passageways, creating an in-between space where each encounter becomes a point of transition.

Liu considers the photographic medium to be self-reflexive and open, allowing for diverse approaches to constructing images. She works closely with devices like the fine art printer and a scanner to achieve the various surface qualities. For her, these surfaces function as a contact point that opens up the possibility of two-dimensional planes extending into space. In previous solo exhibitions, she explored how images could frame spaces within the exhibition setting, acting as a window or a place for unhurried observation.

This installation continues these interests within a contained, almost cuboid environment. It invites reflection on the relationship between seeing and sensing, encouraging audiences to contemplate their personal engagement with art as a lived experience.

Artist Bio
Liu Liling (b.1993, Singapore) works primarily with the photographic image to explore ideas of duration and experiential aspects of the medium, situating them with the installation site. In her practice, she engages with various printing processes as a tool to arrive at a new picture plane, often suggesting points of departure, a coming into, and stasis. Essential to the works are visual qualities inherent to the making process, materialising as a build-up of minutiae that foregrounds the work.

Liu graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts. Recent exhibitions include ‘Open Plane’, commissioned and presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, Singapore, and ’After Light’ at Mizuma Gallery, Singapore. In 2024, she participated in a residency with Onomichi City University, Hiroshima, Japan.
