DESCRIPTION

Through works rooted in surrealist traditions, the exhibition juxtaposes visceral depictions of tragedy with dreamlike interpretations of resilience and decay. Zhang and Liaretidis employ inventive material practices to reimagine the wreckage of man-made disasters, raising critical questions about humanity’s impact on the natural order and the systems that shape our existence. By uniting these deeply personal yet universally resonant narratives, (un)natural order transcends its specific points of inspiration to offer a broader meditation on the fragility of life, the limits of human control, and the enduring tension between resilience and decay. Together, Zhang and Liaretidis challenge viewers to confront the delicate balance between the natural and built environments, ultimately asking what it means to exist within an ever-evolving, often crumbling world.
