Visit the "Six Days After Forever" exposition of BHH member Quo Artis at the Recinto Modernista - #BHHMembersInitiatives

Today BHH member and resident Quo Artis launched the beautiful exposition “Six Days After Forever” at the Operations Pavillion at the historical Modernist site of Sant Pau, where the BHH Headquarters are located. “Six Days After Forever” is a feature-long film, exploring issues surrounding the ethics of genetic modification, the risks imposed by nuclear radiation to human life and the ontology of human identity, whilst uncovering the long-imbued patriarchal bias latent in traditional narratives. It's a project by Japanese-Spanish artist Yoi Kawakubo, in collaboration with the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) in Barcelona, and the Quo Artis Foundation. It unfolds as a fiction story developing with scientific documentary material. With overwhelming technological and scientific advances, human civilisation has reached a moment where its relationship with its planet, and with its own identity, have become awkwardly unstable. The exhibition shows a feature-long film installed alongside other objects in the room, exploring issues surrounding the ethics of genetic modification, the risks imposed nuclear radiation to human life and the ontology of human identity, whilst uncovering the long-imbued patriarchal bias latent in traditional narratives. The film unfolds in a futuristic world that portrays a slow-paced, peculiar ordinariness in line with the speculative but familiar worlds set up by Ursula K. Leguin or Kazuo Ishiguro. This is combined with a documentary section, consisting of historical fragments on nuclear waste discoveries and interviews featuring researchers from the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona).
