ISCA GALLERY

CAMILLA LØW
SPACE JUNK
14.10 - 13.11.2021

We are thrilled to present Camilla Løw’s second exhibition at ISCA gallery titled Space Junk. Moving away from the ground, this new series of hanging sculptures and wall pieces compellingly explore and subvert hierarchical dynamics of materials and their attributed values through surface, quality, and finish.

Taking a departure from her first exhibition at the gallery which focused heavily on gravity and sculptural honesty with a series of dense, stacked concrete tubes, this new set of works reference illusions, the physical equivalent of camera tricks and post-industrial light and magic. Løw uses an extensive array of media including mirrors, ropes, hooks, perforated steel, spray paint and perspex tubes filled with lacquer paint. Bent, shaped and corrupted, these material are transformed and transmuted, becoming aerial, atmospheric and cosmic; space junk.
