The title of the work means “darkness” in the Yugambeh language of the Aboriginal Australian people of south-east Queensland. The site-specific installation comprises a newly created moving image work, a mirrored stage floor, and window treatment which plays on the movement of light throughout the day. Employing dots as both a visual and conceptual element, the work explores themes of identity, memory, perception, and history. Doan invites visitors to move through the installation and to reconsider individual and collective ways we view an ever-evolving idea of the past, present, and future.

Doan is an off-site Encounters project during Art Basel Hong Kong, presented by Kukje Gallery (Seoul, Busan) and Station (Melbourne, Sydney) and supported by Swire Properties.
