In this curatorial team-led tour, discover the intricacies of Rimer Cardillo’s large-scale installations and engage in a discussion about the interconnectedness of all living beings.
For more than five decades, Rimer Cardillo’s artwork has offered a powerful commentary on the intersection of politics, economics, and ecological degradation. Since the late 1970s, his practice has focused on the devastating impacts of human activity on the natural world, particularly the alarming decline in animal species and plant life. These critical environmental concerns, which have been central to Cardillo’s practice since the 1960s, became even more prominent throughout the 1980s and beyond. Deep Ecology suggests that the systemic oppression of Indigenous communities is linked to the destruction of ecosystems, wildlife, and biodiversity. The artist’s work challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with nature and underscores the moral imperative to protect it.
