Mutant creatures, built from technological remains, populate the space.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Described by Phillipson as a \u2018pre-post-historic environment\u2019, the work and its title evoke an abundance of sensations and associations that resist coherence. The artist says she is attempting to \u2018cultivate strangeness, and its potential to generate ecstatic experience\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Phillipson\u2019s work often involves collisions of wildly different imagery, materials and media.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Through multiple, unexpected combinations, she conjures absurd and complex systems. Here, salvaged machines, colossal papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 sculptures and hand-painted scenes are layered with digital video and sound.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mountains of salt, bisected aircraft fuel tanks, mobile gas canisters, rotating anchors and shapeshifting roof vents are doused with tinted light. Everything is remixed and redeployed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Phillipson\u2019s multimedia projects include video, sculpture, installation, music, poetry and digital media. She describes her works as \u2018quantum thought experiments\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They often carry an underlying sense of threat \u2013 a suggestion that, in the artist\u2019s words, \u2018received ideas, images and the systems that underpin them may be on the verge of collapse\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/images\/tate-britain-rupture-05.jpg\" alt=\"Art: step into the mind-blowing world of Rupture #1 at the Tate Britain\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is free to visit (pre-booking required) and runs until the 23rd January 2022.
