Kim Lehman
Kim Lehman is a visual artist, curator, and writer, and lives in Launceston, Tasmania. The common thread that runs through his work is an interest in how we interpret present stimuli through the filter of past experience to form our perception of the world around us. His photography-based works often take the form of condensed narratives where idea and image provide an intense insight into memory—frequently these works ‘data mine’, and then reconstruct, his photographic memories. Similarly, Kim’s video works often explore places familiar to us, either personally or by extension, sometimes adding a touch of the surreal, with a view to encouraging the audience to look more closely at how we all perceive our lived experiences.
