Gabriel Abrantes is an artist and filmmaker based in Lisbon. For his first solo exhibition in the UK, he will present Bardo Loops, a four-channel video installation in which animated ghosts living in a dystopian future ravaged by rains, floods and fires have conversations, fight, argue, cry, break up and have sex. These avatars cycle through topics that are both real and current, oblivious to the ongoing devastation around them, fully absorbed in their own personal dramas.
The Lead Supporter for Gabriel Abrantes' exhibition is Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (UK Branch). Gasworks’ Exhibitions programme is supported by Gasworks Exhibitions Supporters and public funding from Arts Council England.
