Nicosia Melbourne Coupling (2023)
Two newly produced video works by two internationally renowned artists Eugenia Lim and Anu Pennanen are in dialogue at Nicosia NiMAC Art Center – PUBLICS Helsinki – Composite Melbourne. The artist’s works both explore the current ecocide in an era of resource-based conflict and global environmental crisis.
In this exhibition, 5, 10, 100 YEARS FROM NOW (2023) by artist Anu Pennanen is based on petrol-station customers wild reflections on what they imagine the future will look like seen from the window of a Neste- gas station in Helsinki. Eugenia Lim’s METABOLISM (2023) is a film-essay around the site of the Western Treatment Plant (WTP), considers the body-as-land and land-as- body. Wirribi-yaluk (Werribee river) is the backbone of the film, a flowing entity connecting old ways with new.
