Skip Door: Counting Room
In Skip Door: Counting Room (2024), Lubaina Himid frames the domestic door as a barrier as opposed to a site of transition. Its painted surface, bearing numerous tally marks, evokes the human act of endurance through the recording of time. The handle and lock remind us of the object’s gatekeeping function; access either granted or denied.
