Still Life - Navigating 2020 re-visions Peter Sramek's video installation Ether
Navigation (2005), which considered how young generations were learning to
‘swim’ in virtual worlds, immersed in new realities. Now, in 2020, Still Life visualizes
a response to the pandemic as we all learn to navigate. Even as we shelter in the
virtual, hidden away from natural threats, it is nature that sustains and gives many
hope. In these artworks, vignettes taken from nature – nature morte as it is in
French - imply that there is still life, even in the cycles of death and rebirth.
