Marguerite Humeau will create an immersive installation for her first exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey. Incorporating sculpture, sound and moving image, the work explores themes of connectivity and the collective as a response to the impending, self-inflicted extinction of the human species.
Drawing on a new body of research investigating alternative social structures and architectural forms found in the natural world, and informed by the germinal text ‘The Soul of the White Ant’ (1936) by Eugène Marais, Humeau posits that unconventional frameworks found in organic life could offer new possibilities for existing in an age of imminent disaster.
