Christine Rebet: Time Levitation

Christine Rebet: Time Levitation
23 January 26 March 2020
Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art presents as the final exhibition in its current London space, works by French artist Christine Rebet. This, her first solo show in the United Kingdom, will occupy two floors of the gallery and comprise six hand-drawn animated films that address the traumas of personal and collective histories, illusion and the destruction of our shared history and environment.

Drawing is at the heart of Rebet s practice, which she often develops into animated films, sculpture, installations or performance art. With a background in theatre design, Rebet presents many of her animated films within custom-built spaces and installed together with props to create an immersive environment. Working with the traditional techniques of early animation she explores the unconscious and creates tales that are both anti-heroic and satirical.
