Researching in the Ruins

Utilising the methodologies of osteoarchaeology as a foundation for their exploration, Jonny Geber and Rae-Yen Song will migrate through the water, land, and air realms of the exhibition. Drawing upon their expertise, they will speculate on a potential history for the artworks, fragments, and particles that inhabit these spaces. Their journey will delve into how the collation of contemporary artefacts not only forms myth and reflects time but also stabilises the materiality of this dream towards another world. Throughout their migration, they will employ speculative fabulation to uncover narratives and connections illuminating the complex interplay between past and present within the exhibition’s context.
