Tendrement is a visual investigation into sensorial perception and the alliance of emotional attachment, revulsion and avoidance. It features multi-disciplinary artists who examine objects as a mechanism for nostalgia and discomfort through the uncanny, an observation that is married to unease and prolonged avoidance. The exhibition navigates a post human environment mired in traces of what once was, with artwork alluding to sentiments of intimacy, nostalgia, pain and identity. Works include sculpture, video, projection mapping, photography and performance. SDAI invites viewers to explore the tension between subversive and post-apocalyptic aesthetics that populate the collective ethos of underground creators.
