SAUERBIER HOUSE SALA EXHIBITION 

9 August – 20 September 

Lounge Gallery, Hallway Gallery, Wash House

In a speculative future where rising seas have consumed the Earth, the last surviving humans dredge the waters in search of forgotten technological artifacts which might save them. Old computers, electronic toys and junk plastics are assembled as sculpture, video and installation to explore how human desires manifest in the era of the Anthropocene.
