Fragile / Melbourne Design Week 2023, Glowing Structures Gallery
An immersive thought-provoking group show featuring works by Ilan El, Hedy Ritterman & Aly Indermühle.
Wars, social injustice, and natural catastrophes have sullied humanity and reshaped our planet. The political, social and cultural events change our perception of the world, manifesting in personal and global crises. Through recording, interpreting and imagining, the group presents evocative works that encourage reflection on one’s role within a fragile existence.
Amidst imagery and sculptures of shattered glass objects, a battalion of hand-blown glass cannon vases fires beams of light casting a luminous floral cloud of hope, while a collection of intimate artist’s books guide the fragile world of subjective experience. The installation invites reflection on the interplay between destruction and creation, fragility and resilience, and the power of art to inspire hope and transformation.
