This project is presented by Galerie Gomis (Brussels) – Booth 9 Main Fair
Moved by the notion that our collective actions and inactions continue to destroy our world and resources, and that the nature of this reality is brutal, the artist created Atmospheric Perspective, a poetic vision of what we are transforming our planet into.
To depict the feeling of the Earth melting and rising levels of toxicity in the air, the artist used a combination of various technologies to animate a series of still images into a video piece.
She asks what will be left of us once we are gone - Mere installations that might offer a testament of our past presence? Or, perhaps, nothing at all, only a scorched planet haunted by distant memories and false illusions? The artist’s hope is the viewer experiences their own perceptual sensations when looking at this work and is compelled to do their part to protect this planet we call home.
