Culminating five years of work by Australian inter-disciplinary artist Lux Eterna, The 8th Day is an exhibition that will take you on a journey of movement, delicate aesthetics and incredible landscape.
The exhibition features intricate gold gilt drawings of trees which document the artist's world travels and an immersive multichannel video of contemporary dance featuring a backdrop of Australia's Willandra Lakes Central Desert region.
This reflective show provides a mediation on collective histories and examines possibilities for a new spiritually resonant world.
