Angelica Mesiti: Reverb Exhibition of Contemporary Video Art at Museum Tinguely

Angelica Mesiti's exhibition 'Reverb' presents a collection of video and sound installations that explore alternative forms of human communication and cultural ritual. Through works like 'The Rites of When' and 'A Hundred Years', the artist investigates how movement, gesture, and sound foster community and resonance across time.

In an era increasingly defined by digital interaction, 'Reverb' highlights alternative ways in which we communicate and build meaning. The exhibition brings together five video works by the Paris-based Australian artist Angelica Mesiti, focusing on the interface of performance, sound, and the moving image. Her work emphasizes how cultural traditions, rituals, and sensory experiences—specifically sound and physical gesture—shape identity and foster connections between people and their environments. The title of the exhibition serves as a metaphor for the way ideas and information echo across space and time, continuing to influence our collective memory. The featured works range from the 7-channel installation 'The Rites of When' (2024), which explores seasonal customs and our future role in rituals amid ecological change, to the quiet, meditative 'A Hundred Years' (2020), which reflects on memory and landscape on the battlefields of the Somme. Other works, such as 'Sidereal', 'Relay League', and 'Prepared Piano for Movers (Haussmann)', further demonstrate Mesiti's commitment to exploring direct physical contact and the poetry found in everyday human movement. The exhibition is curated by Tabea Panizzi and offers a profound look at non-linguistic expression in a rapidly changing world.

Admission to the exhibition is included with regular museum entry. Some special programming associated with the exhibition, such as external performances, may require separate tickets or specific venue access.
