Concerning Symmetry

Concerning Symmetry takes the concept of symmetry, coupled with an interrogation of power relations across axis of race, class and gender found in Nick Cave’s Blot 2012 as a point of departure. Symmetry is an ordering system that appears across multiple fields of knowledge. It is Nature’s go to design principle and from mathematics and conceptual physics to aesthetics and perceptions of beauty; politics and the social sciences symmetry or its absence is central, it seems to all we experience as human beings, and perhaps to the very nature of reality itself.
Concerning Symmetry presents moving image works that invite us to reflect on symmetry and its absence— asymmetry through its manifestation in abuses of power, inequality and violence.
