About

'Nicolas Molé: They look at you' was unable to remain open to its original advertised end date 28 June 2020 due to the Gallery closure in response to COVID-19.

Nicolas Molé’s immersive animated installation embodies the forest environment of his ancestral home, Lifou in New Caledonia. Pulsing natural life forms found in this environment are symbols for the forces of nature. They also stand in for complex human emotions and relationships including with those that the living have with an ancestral realm. The installation was last seen in Brisbane in 2015 when it premiered for APT8.
