Horror Is Nothing Other Than Reality exposes the alienating and gnarly nature of species entanglement, through a set of mutable assemblages composed of hardware and organics. Horror Is Nothing Other Than Reality preys on our fears, falling into post-apocalyptic and futuristic tropes. Yet, stepping back, we see a familiarity in the works and understand that they are quite close to our current reality.
Horror Is Nothing Other Than Reality is chapter one in a series of exhibitions that look critically at human-centric states of play. The second chapter, Entangled Me, occured in November 2023.
