14 June 24 – 7 July 2024

I’ll be participating again in ÄRES (EPL – Art por I Ladins), an exhibition of the work of fifteen women associated with the ladino-speaking area of Val Badia (BZ) in Italy.

I’ll be showing again my video work Metamorphosis, as well my most recent climate change video piece SILT which was shown last at the Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret.

SILT uses a range of materials in its creation including silt, sand and algae, as well as man-made and organic objects retrieved from the foreshore of the Thames at low tide. Tidal cycles are recreated using small-scale models, shot at 25 second intervals as liquid is slowly drained away. In other sequences, ice has been used to animate the forms.

Coming from the Dolomite region of Northern Italy, I’m particularly interested in natural habitats in urban settings and how we relate to these, in particular the ever-changing, tidal aspect of the Thames. The film also deals with unexpected drought and flooding as a result of changing seasonal cycles.

The exhibition is sponsored by EPL – Ert por i Ladins ODV and Raiffeisen.

The soundtrack for the video was created by musician and composer Jonathan Lambert @jonathanlambert18.
