The Deep End draws on the anguish of being cut off, estranged, and exiled. It deals with moments when humans experience themselves as separate, disconnected from their surroundings and from one another. The deeper one sinks into this disorienting mood, the more inaccessible the world around them becomes. When even a return to everydayness and the guise of familiarity fail as inauthentic attempts to evade our thrownness, we find ourselves hovering over the weight of our own existence.
This is an underlying human condition: the uncanniness of inhabiting a world that no longer holds. The exhibition investigates how artistic practice can generate and sustain this sense of outsiderness. Some works confront the viewer with collective uncertainty, while others open a zone of destabilisation through the encounter with an unknowable vanishing point.
The show unfolds across two connected rooms. The first is spare, its works held at a scale that demands stillness and proximity. Two photographic works frame the passage into the larger room, where work on paper, sculpture, and photography are distributed across adjacent walls, occupying their positions at oblique angles to one another and resisting the frontal logic of conventional display. Outside, at the threshold, a work in concrete on fabric hangs in the corridor, situating the exhibition before it begins.
