Yonder offers a contemporary perspective on the desire that artists have always had to know ‘what’s over there’. With the notion of ‘mobility’ as the exhibition’s central idea, Yonder considers some of the poetic and pragmatic connotations associated with this strategy for investigating, taking action and day dreaming about one’s place in the world.

The artists in the exhibition reference material, virtual and enquiry-based itineraries that reflect a diversity of approaches to propulsion and apprehension of the world. Whether working with traditional media such as paper and pigment or recent media such as digitised text, their approaches produce the effect of a route, a path or way being taken.

I was completely unprepared for this, but extremely honored by it. Thanks to the jury for the award and the selectors who found my little film and invited me to orizzonti section of venice film festival.
