An immersive and collaborative art installation inspired by the beliefs of animism.
Curated by Cassia Bundock, Beyond Matter is an immersive art installation generated by sound, video projection, painting, collage, drawing, print, sculpture and aromas. It seeks to simulate a sentient environment which explores the possibility of immaterial phenomena and the existence of non-physical realms within Nature. Collaboratively created by seven artists, the installation space becomes an imaginary sacred place by referring to concepts of animism and ritual drawn from indigenous, ancient and contemporary beliefs of the East and the West as well as from science.
