This event has ended.

A Path to Wilderness is a multimedia installation drawn from Angelica Teuta’s ongoing investigation of the impact of space on human emotions. In this installation, Teuta uses The Hollows’ unconventional setting and the house’s very architecture to unveil its emotional potential.

Unfolding throughout the house’s stairwells, corridors, recesses, and unexplored spaces, the installation creates a journey through which the viewer reflects on his or her natural and constructed environments. Trees, woodpeckers, squirrels, and birds, will invade The Hollows’ space to create uncanny and strange social/animal encounters that activate analogies between human and animal behavior. Natural environment and wildlife are recurring motifs in Teuta’s artistic practice - often used to reflect on human nature and the construction of human needs.

In The Hollows’ basement, Teuta will create a fort mimicking children’s playful environments, constructed with precarious materials to create intimate, private, and otherworldly spaces that embody the imagination of their constructor. Teuta invites the viewer to experience a situational place, from which social situations and emotions emerge. A Path to Wilderness will appeal for dreams, tales, and imaginary thoughts, calling the wild child that resides in each one of us.
