Publisher's Synopsis
For his Curve commission, award-winning British artist and filmmaker John Akomfrah has created an immersive, six-channel video installation which charts the incremental shifts in climate change across the planet and its effects on human communities, biodiversity and the wilderness. The follow up to 'Vertigo Sea' (2015), Akomfrah's standout work at the 56th Venice Biennale, 'Purple' forms the second chapter in a planned quartet of films addressing the aesthetics and politics of matter.
