A central pillar of Daniel Lie's artistic practice is time -
ranging from age-old memories to the beginning of the world, from
the life span of a human being to the geological time of the
elements. Lie's art explores concepts such as life, death, and
decay, as well as biographical relationships and heritage, with an
approach that centres around personal memories, family stories,
cultural objects, and natural products that survive for a long time
and are linked to memories of the past. Taking a lifetime as a
comparative measure, the works are inspired by developmental
processes and the transition from one state to another.
Installations, sculptures, and a combination of different media
reveal the performative qualities of the referential objects -
time, transience, and presence. Lie turns a spotlight on these
three aspects by creating complex installations and giving pride of
place to organic elements that grow and age and have life cycles of
their own, such as plants and fungi. Engaging in an
interdisciplinary exchange with mycologists, archaeologists, and
environmental specialists, Lie addresses the fault lines in binary
thought patterns such as science and religion, past origins and
present existence, life and death, while attempting to subvert
them.
