About this Event
Join us for a live performance event!
London-based artist Anna Perach (b. 1985, Zaporizhzhia) presents A Leap of Sympathy, an exhibition inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s Gothic fiction The Tales of Hoffmann. Perach’s bold wearable sculptures blur the boundaries between the beautiful and the grotesque, the ornamental and the uncanny. Using a traditional tufting technique, she reimagines archetypal figures as hybrid forms, challenging myths surrounding gender and identity and art and craft. At the centre of the exhibition are two large-scale feminine sculptures: one brought to life by a live performer, while the other operates as a clockwork automaton.
