The Portal
In the solo exhibition THE PORTAL (Premiered at RADIUS CCA in 2023), Sissel Marie Tonn expands on her artistic research on the bog, once an awe-inspiring site of contact with spirits, ancestors and gods, now a threatened ecosystem that is key to counteract ecological decline. Conceived as a sensorial exploration of the bog, THE PORTAL presents video, sound, and ceramic work that reflect on the ecosystem’s cultural and ecological entanglements, learning what it is to be human, both in deep past, present, and in speculative futures. Might we once again regard this ecosystem as a portal, alive and inseparable from us, in the pressing need to consider posthuman subjectivities and bodies? - Excerpt from exhibition text by Sergi Pera Rusca.

The Sentinel Self

Built within a video game engine, The Sentinel Self is an ongoing and complex simulation of hundreds of interacting cell-like creatures within a vast aquatic, body-like ecosystem.
