As the climate crisis intensifies, climate migration and climate refugees bring spatial pressure to each and every society on earth, raising difficult questions around citizenship, land ownership, and fundamental human rights.

​

Whereas the scientific world has put forward quantum theory about the ability of particles - and therefor objects - to be in two different places at once, or two different objects occupying the same space at once (Young’s Double Split Experiment and the theory of SUPERPOSITION ~ whereby reality only exists as a fix once observed), Don Albert presents a uniquely South African landscape of weather and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena events, wherein pop-culture timeframes, places and objects collide, cohabit and simply exist, side by side, and/or one-on-top-of-the other.

 

By visiting diverse epochs of South African painting, and indeed through a body of work that employs a range of multimedia, animations, hand-painted signage, artificial intelligence created imagery and physical installations, a cocktail of simultaneous realities begs the question: could humanity not embrace the notion of Superposition and learn to accept that others exist, along with us, share with others, and simply be kind to one another?
