2023 · 32 min
A slow, mournful meditation on a lost natural world, asking you to sit with grief and wonder.

- John Akomfrah
- Overview
- In his new work on five screens, "Becoming Wind", Akomfrah creates an allegorical representation of the Garden of Eden and its disappearance. In elegiac black-and-white scenes, the installation evokes a past when an abundant diversity of plant and animal species still existed on the planet, while also directing a gaze at the precarious humancentric ecosystem of the Anthropocene, the current epoch of climate change.
- How it feels
- Melancholic, bleak, earnest and eerie. Slow-burning and demanding.
