Event Details

Exhibition continues from the 14th of August to the 19th of September 2025

Featuring three 5.4m towers from discarded wardrobes—antique mahogany to mid-20th-century chipboard. Once bedroom sentinels, they mirror human scale amid capitalist decay & ecological loss. Charred, their graphite sheen reveals pre-industrial carbon, a silvery breath from past forests, hinting at immortality. From cave charcoal to quantum tech, this graphite, a communication tool, sparks hope via cross-disciplinary dialogue against the ecological abyss. With eco-gothic tones—from toppled dolmens to Space Odyssey monoliths—they evoke a haunting legacy of neglect through architectural resonance.
