On October 1, 2022, multimedia artist Jeffrey Gibson debuted the sweeping exhibition “This Burning World" at ICA SF. The provocative show examines our complex relationship to mother earth through a poetic video shot in the Hudson Valley as well as through multisensory installations—openings in the gallery floor allow for an intimate connection to the Earth itself. In one room, a Red Maple tree hangs majestically and vulnerably in front of neon imagery. Throughout the show, videos of nature’s awe-inspiring beauty are magnified and digitally altered, revealing both the innocence of the natural world and our profound influence on it.
