In today’s hyperconnected and technology accelerated condition, Rut Panusé aimed to disconnect. To do so, she moved into a small and inhabited Swedish island where she was able to glimpse the most primary technological processes that link both trees and human beings.

Once the hierarchies between these elements were eliminated, Panusé collected materials, drew sketches and made images and sculptures in which both physical and digital work processes converged. In her series,the idea of the dazzling sun is interlaced with that of psychedelic dancefloors where the dancers, either alone or in a couple, hold their gestures while a solitary spotlight binds them.Babá Khumu Ta Tá looks into a particular universe of lights and formsthat stems not only from her study of the light’s material qualities but also from the relationship between technology and nature.
