Photo report: The exhibition “Uncharted” at the Hoib gallery in Tallinn

From 2 June until 3 July Hoib gallery in Tallinn is hosting the work by the two artist duos - Anna Slama and Marek Delong, Pire Sova and Ando Naulainen. The installative sculptures and video work by Slama, Delong, Sova and Naulainen question the late capitalist world order reliant on growth, profit, competition and opposition. Instead, the artists envision an imaginative and collective future shared across different species.

“Uncharted” offers one possible future that does not evoke the post-anthropocene vision of decaying nuclear plants or mutated turtles struggling for survival, making their way through synthetic fishing nets. Anna Slama, Marek Delong, Pire Sova and Ando Naulainen image the human legacy as something organic, full of wonder, emotional and intuitive. “Uncharted” invites the viewer to discover an adventurous, forward-looking and mystical vision of the world. Through shifted gaze on the present and into the future after the anthropocene era, we can learn from mistakes already now without having to wait for the explosive end offering no return.
