The Earth is changing. Glaciers, ice caps, and permafrost are disappearing, sending masses of mud into the oceans while the system of the Earth is slowly undergoing dramatic changes.
What does climate change look like when you follow the movement of mud through landscapes, systems, and time?
On Friday 30 January, we open Here’s… Mud In Your Eye by Rikke Luther – an exhibition that moves from the intimate to the planetary, offering new perspectives on the extensive, human-induced changes to our Earth.
The exhibition weaves together scientific research and poetic observation, revolving around mud, changing landscapes, and the phenomenon of ‘deep time’. Through video works, textile pieces, photography, and objects, you are invited into an immersive and investigative space where the radical environmental changes of the Arctic take shape through new images and narratives.
Here’s… Mud In Your Eye is based on Rikke Luther’s postdoctoral project Ocean-Lands: Mud in the Earth System, in which she explores newly formed mudscapes in Iceland, Greenland, and Denmark.
