Ellipse and Ellipsis is a multimedia environment emerging through installation, sound and design with the ellipse and the ellipsis as guiding tropes. Both words stem from the Greek noun elleipsis, meaning "falling short" or "defect," and, while shaping astronomical and linguistic contexts, can also serve as metaphors for how we relate to otherness—whether time, a living being, or a fantastical idea.
The works by Anthea Hamilton, Gabriella Hirst, Jasper Marsalis, Jota Mombaça, Sandra Mujinga, Objects of Common Interest, and the Acousmonium ODAE by Neuf Voix form the tonicas of a scenography–where repetition, metamorphosis and possibility intertwine– to be deciphered through co-habitation. Elements that typically underpin the structure and organization of a space such as a wall, plants, a chair, a soundtrack, come forth activated and ambiguous.
