Installation by Thomas and Uli Westphal
Water connects worlds, carries life and sustains countless forms of existence, many of them invisible to us. Scylla and Charybdis invites visitors to enter into a shared aquatic microcosm, where water from local lakes, oceans, rivers and puddles flows between three interconnected glass tanks. Using the principle of communicating vessels, viewers can navigate the flow of particles and lifeforms by altering the water levels by submerging their hands, becoming part of this interconnected environment. The installation invites us to reconsider our relationship with the worlds we share, recognising the delicate interdependencies between human and more-than-human life, and our place within larger living systems.
