Featuring sculptural, photographic and filmic works by the Australian artist Patricia Piccinini, the immersive exhibition HOPE taps into our hopes and fears about the impact of science on humanity. Her hyperrealistic and surreal works, often rooted in art historical forms, explore various “unexpected consequences”, whether negative or positive. HOPE raises important questions about the nature of history, progress, and technology, and ponders our collective ability to create warm and caring relationships and to live lovingly with each other.

Informed by surrealism and mythology, the Australian artist Patricia Piccinini is best known for her hyperrealistic sculptures. Her works however include other mediums such as photography, videography, and installation. Piccinini’s works reflect on the increasingly nebulous boundaries between the artificial and the natural as it appears in contemporary culture; her works in turn transform our understanding of set relationships with the surrounding world, exploring the future of humanity and other creatures coexisting in the same space.
