Fiona Lutjenhuis at Gwangju Biennale, South Korea

Art space 1646 in The Hague invited Fiona Lutjenhuis to develop a new site-specific installation for the 1646 Pavilion as part of the 16th ⁠Gwangju Biennale in South Korea. In the installation, Lutjenhuis reflects upon the influence imaginary worlds can have on our understanding of reality. Within a submerged world, Counting Waves Till We Are Reunited Once More fantasizes about past myths to rethink the future.
