Exhibition: Priscilla Kennedy - Levitating in Thin Spaces; A story of a pale blue dot

Exhibition at Komet K.

Scholarship holder Priscilla Kennedy will present her artworks in the exhibition "Levitating in Thin Spaces; A story of a pale blue dot" at the exhibition space Komet K from 24 to 29 September 2024.

Priscilla Kennedy presents an exploration of the thematic intersections of the body, sexuality and fictional histories of objects and life forms. In her works, she takes us on an exciting adventure of her fantasies with the human body, making connections that extend the body with GPS, routes and maps while considering our immaterial connections with objects and materials.

The exhibition is a reflection on the ephemerality of our bodily experiences in the midst of other things and spaces....
