Experience a fully immersive art installation designed to stimulate and evoke emotional responses common to horror themes. An element of this will include a large format horror inspired silk screened installation by printmaker Karolina Gajewska.
Dark Recess is a multi-faceted arts installation, dialog incubator and arts residency that unveils the emotions of loss, grief, pain, fear, darkness and trauma and how they are expressed culturally through art and various film horror genres. Inspired by the month of October and the resurrection of things arguably left better to dead, we’ll peel back the layers of which we express Dark Recess.
