Workplace is pleased to present Though floating on water, a group exhibition including work by Emii Alrai, Simeon Barclay, Wang Pei, Ibrahim El-Salahi and Ingrid Pollard.
The exhibition will reimagine the relationship between the body and the landscape, questioning inherited ideas of ownership, history and belonging. Through a diverse set of practices including photography, sculpture, installation and painting the exhibition will reflect upon how history, and representation shape our understanding of our land and our space within it.
Though floating on water investigates who is visible, who is remembered, and the material traces that remain. The title of the exhibition is drawn from the novel Season of Migration to the North by the prolific Sudanese writer Tayeb Salih, author of Maryud, the novel for which Ibrahim El-Salahi’s illustrations were produced.
