Rebecca Moss: Unstable Condition
In her first solo institutional exhibition in the UK Rebecca Moss will include new and recent works. The exhibition will explore notions of ecological and economic instability featuring moving image, sculpture, photography and installation. The main gallery will feature a series of witty short format videos, where Moss performs to the camera, staging interactions between her body and the landscape. These works explore an embodied and feminist relationship with the natural world in particular the Thames Estuary. In the window space, there will be an installation that uses the language of slapstick humour to comment on the precarity of British seaside resorts, especially those around the UK under threat from sea levels rising due to the climate crisis. The final project will be a comprehensive installation of materials that tell the real-life absurd story of when Moss became stuck on a bankrupt container ship in 2016 whilst undertaking an art residency in the Pacific Ocean.
