Elizabeth West - State of Displacement: 7th - 24th February
Opening February 7th from 6pm
State of Displacement disrupts spatial scale while landscape images recede, exploring the experience of climate change. Meanings of displacement stretch across human and hard sciences. There is reference to movement and removal; presence and disappearance; distance, volume and measurement. Viewers are immediately displaced within the space, by the presence of an enormous sphere, inducing awareness of their own physical presence. Saturated images of natural landscapes invite closer inspection, a fragile environment to move through.
The continuous thread of our daily lives often obscures reflection on dialogues of human displacement. State of Displacement offers space to engage with the gravity of the present moment.
