Holy Mercury is a reflection of a society’s shadowed beauty. The film weaves together striking,beautiful and sometimes unsettling fragments depicting the ambient unease of living in a world on edge. Mercury serves as both metaphor and symptom: its hallucinations and confusion echo the disorientation of our era, where survival often comes entangled with destruction.
Filmed in Ghana.

“How to sell yourself” is an interesting combination of words artists hear often. It is usually framed as practical advice for surviving a system that rewards visibility, clarity, and constant self-definition.
A conversation about this phrase sparked the idea for this exhibition.
Rather than responding to the title directly, we were interested in what might happen when our individual images were placed in conversation with each other. By pairing photographs from two separate practices, new meanings begin to emerge—sometimes harmonious, sometimes contradictory.
This exhibition invites you to take part in that process. Move through the space with a friend or a stranger and spend time with each pairing of images. Discuss what you see, what connects, and what resists.
