During the time of Covid19, it has become clear how connected we are and how easily we can influence each other’s lives. This may seem scary and fragile, but if you ask artist Marie Retpen and sound artist Johannes Smed, the idea of global connectedness also represents something beautiful, which is worth focusing on.
As an illustration of this contrast, they have jointly created the visual and auditory work ‘The New Reality Can Also Be Beautiful’ for the Malt Factory in Ebeltoft.
