As it is (in heaven), 2023

Foreign Dialogues, FIN Gallery. In partnership with the NGV Design Week, curated by Dominika Kuthova and Marta Figueiredo.

As it is (in heaven) imagines geopolitical exchange as a series of floating rocky islands. The Global North and South are the latest in a procession of ever-changing terms used to describe global inequality by demarcating countries according to wealth and opportunity. In Pattle’s hands, these polarites are interlocked in asymmetrical dialogue, with each domain contingent upon the other.
