Galerie Barbara Thumm presents Liminal Circularity, a solo exhibition by Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons.

Liminal Circularity convenes two works by the artist. Recently exhibited at Sharjah Biennial (2023), this constellation reflects on vibrant legacies. As stated by Campos Pons, circularity refers to geographical and spiritual implications of creolization. In her new multi-channel video, Family Whisper, Campos Pons introduces three screens corresponding to three spiritual planes; Babalú Ayé, Obalata, and the oceanic horizon at the center. On this occasion, her video installation is accompanied by an invocation to Yoruba goddess Oshun, summoned by the ancestral symbol of sunflowers.
