WHAT LIES BENEATH? These ethereal divers from another place and time bring their world to the surface. What Lies Beneath is a nod towards all that is unseen — the mysterious things that exist under the surface, or cloaked in the shadows of night.
This roving installation captures the essence of the deep, with the emergence of human forms that would normally inhabit the depths of the ocean silently exploring our terra firma. As the characters wander through their new environment, they carry with them secrets hidden from prying eyes, illuminated only through clouds of mist. What Lies Beneath was originally commissioned by the Barangaroo Delivery Authority for exhibition in Sydney Australia in 2017. Parliamentary Triangle 9 & 10 March 2018 7pm–10:30pm Free 9
