Acts of invasion stand central to how we define ourselves as human beings – how we look outside of and within our own bodies to comprehend things that exist far away or deep inside.
Comprising of a collection of drawings and a sculptural installation, this exhibition investigates the complex relationship between humans and forms of scientific representation. By taking invasion as the thematic backdrop to this relationship, I explore how the tools used for monitoring forms of invasion are entangled with our perception of self.
The exhibition catalogue is available here.
