Last Forever, the Still is Nothing features a sculpture and performance by Madara Vimba and an animation The Masque of Blackness - Reimagined by Epoh Beech, installed in a visual conversation with Kate Genever’s wall drawing. The exhibition acts like a palimpsest, preserving the ghostly traces of the artists' work in one space by intertwining layers of artistic expression. It aims to prompt multidimensional and multimedia dialogues through these relationships, aspiring to uncover hidden histories and contemporary reflections.

The Masque of Blackness Reimagined - Trailer 15”
The Masque of Blackness Reimagined 12’45” a hand drawn animation (2018)
Epoh Beech’s animated film The Masque of Blackness Reimagined (12′ 45″) (2018) reimagines and weaves together elements of Joseph Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness and Ben Jonson’s Jacobean play The Masque of Blackness. It has themes of moonlight, rivers and alchemical symbolism.
It was created over 7 years out of thousands of charcoal drawings, the animation explores the spirit of place to take you on a journey from West Africa to the Rivers Thames in London and Rhine in Northern Germany. Our guides on the journey are a time traveling grey seal called Hermes and Pegasus the mythological winged horse. Please here for more information on The Masque of Blackness Reimagined
