Distance is a blade is a group exhibition featuring works by Akil Ahamat, Olyvia Hong and Yumoi Zheng. Comprising videos, sculpture and wall-based works, the exhibition contends with intimacy and alienation, love and rupture, and the private and affective forms of myth-making that carry us into the future. Drawing on autobiography, pop culture, customary storytelling and forms of online encounter, the works invite us into dream-like sequences where animals and atmospheric effects collide with intensely human dramas. In each of the artists' works, the sharpness of separation and longing becomes something to hold fast to, an edge upon which to endlessly remake ourselves anew.
