The Catalyst emotionally presents our upcoming exhibition and we invite you to be as lovely as always on the opening day.
Under One Moon is a site-specific exhibition of moving images, sound, light, photographs and text. It is inspired by 77 Days: An Experience Report, Sissi Kaplan’s artist book about enforced isolation and personal loss that took place during the global pandemic of 2020. At that time, fear of mortal contagion kept people apart as national borders started to close. Having lived abroad for decades, questions of separation and absence became even more acute for the artist. She turned to reverie, invention and performance to make meaning of such new circumstances. These acts of creation became a way to practise resilience, and represent individual experience and emotion amidst collective adversity. Now souvenirs of a particular moment in worldwide history, these works are also considerations about what it means to be in the world and to interact with others.
