Thanatopsis

Thanatopsis exhibition ran at the Crypt Gallery in Euston in April 2022. The exhibition brought together work by several artists who make work about their existence by either personal narrative and documentation reacting to feelings, the physicality of the body, and representation of the self through symbolism and false narrative. Wondering somewhere in between birth and death. Through collaborative staging and juxtapositioning of our work, we aim to bring our existence into question by reminiscence and reflection on the present, past and future. This is our way of processing and understanding the slowly shifting and changing nature of our unstable reality and through this process we are learning more about ourselves. Our works are relics of now, materializing the ephemeral, presented before us to meditate on. Participating Artists: Ana Carolina Ramos and Clara Uslu, Dien Berziga, Ola Kowalewska, Rebecca Willing, Renata Silverio, Joana Azevedo Rodrigues, Joanne Kim, Lucas Rankin, Matilde Wall, Yarden Fudim, Zuzzana Murawiak.
