The show «ECCE VERMIS: endless ooze recursion» by Kornelia Remø Klokk invites you into a strange world of monsters and radical transformation. Through evocative language of horror and speculative fiction, the show explores ways to thrive beyond conventional boundaries. Welcome to a place of shifting realities, where slime and otherworldly beings challenge our perceptions. 

This is a space where disability studies, monster theory, and the power of escapism converge, offering a unique lens through which to view our world. It’s a look into a meticulously crafted universe, built from myths and new stories, where nothing is fixed and everything is interconnected. Particularly, it explores how escapism, often seen negatively, can be a vital coping mechanism for those with chronic illness, providing a space to transcend physical limitations.

Through textiles, sound, and immersive installations, Klokk crafts an evolving, self-referential ecosystem. The artworks become portals, inviting you to delve into the monstrous and unknown. Here, the act of exploring the unsettling and unfamiliar becomes a means of understanding alternative states of being, and discovering new possibilities within the fluid boundaries of reality.

Kornelia Remø Klokk (f. 1989) has studied fine art at the Glasgow School of Art and the Oslo National Academy of the Arts where she finished her studies in 2018. Klokk has previously shown her work at the Emanuel Vigeland Museum and Podium in Oslo, Spriten Kunsthall, and NADA East Broadway among others. Her practice blends traditional craft with modern media to build immersive, fantastical worlds. Her work explores themes of horror and speculative fiction, creating spaces where the monstrous and the unknown offer new ways to understand reality.

The exhibition has received support from Norske Kunstforeninger, Kulturdirektoratet, Trondheim Kommune, and Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond.
