As part of Loop Festival, the Hospital of St Saver presents Never Ground, a video installation by artist Natália Trejbalová that explores the Earth as a physical entity in constant transformation.
Our perception of the planet we inhabit is superficial. Yet the ground we walk on conceals a vast range of underground spaces. Through images of an erupting volcano on Vulcano and a cave in Veneto, among others, the video connects the earth with what lies beneath. Thus, what is visible becomes linked to what is hidden, and the superficial to the profound.
Exhibited in one of the spaces of the Hospital of St Saver, the video establishes a direct relationship with the works from the Casacuberta Marsans Collection on view, connecting what is visible and earthly with what is hidden and metaphysical. Through the collaboration with Loop Festival, the project offers a new perspective on the Collection’s works, as well as building an international bridge with contemporary artistic production.
Natália Trejbalová’s practice has been presented in institutions and festivals around the world: Palazzo Grassi, Venice; Matadero, Madrid; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; MUDAM Luxembourg; and Power Station of Arts, Shanghai, among many others.
