Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation presents a moving image project titled ‘WYE’ by the
South African artist and Magnum photographer Mikhael Subotzky. ‘WYE’ comprises an intersecting three channel, immersive video presentation juxtaposing visions of 19th century colonial history, an ambivalent and perhaps traumatic present day, with an imagined dystopic future. Collapsing these three narratives and three time zones into one mesmerising filmic experience, the audience is taken on a journey through South Africa, Australia and the heart of the British Empire – England.
