The exhibition (24 September 2023–16 June 2024) comprises ten works from the past fifteen years and includes installation, sculpture and moving image.
The video installation Wilderness is a highlight of the exhibition. The installation is designed in a circular format, with a 360-degree projection encompassing four screens. Created over a period of two and a half years on a beach in Los Angeles close to where Aitken lives and works. Geographically bounded by the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic, the artist went to the edge of the Pacific Ocean every day. He observed a recurring existential energy at sunset with the ebb and flow of people gathering on the beach and the primal ritual of watching the day transform into the darkness of night.
