I want inside this night | Artistic Research

For the exhibition at the Artists Unlimited gallery in Bielefeld, I am working on an artistic exploration of the darkest darkness of the night. What is the darkest darkness? What do we say about this deep darkness, and what does the darkness tell us?

‘I want inside this night that is longer than life, I want, inside this night, life raw and bloody and full of saliva.’

Clarice Lispector, Agua Viva (19730

Through extensive visual research, theoretical study and an examination of literature and poetry, I am collecting all manner of stories, symbols, myths and colours relating to the darkness of the night.
