A SIMPLE ACT OF WONDER
A SIMPLE ACT OF WONDER Explores ideas of place and our power to re-imagine the world, this playful work Walter & Zoniel connects two contrasting parts of Brighton city: the centre and the suburbs.
ASAOW was created during a unique moment in our national and global history. A moment in time where
connection is amplified by both its presence and absence. A time where we are physically separate whilst utilising
all means possible to connect. The artwork has become even more relevant in this era where the subjects of
human connection, inclusivity and joy are all heightened to our senses.
A Simple Act Of Wonder is an artwork about connectivity and storytelling utilising the means of joy and surrealism
in a time where these two subjects have become amplified beyond belief. The moment in time that the work is
created has in itself become part of the story of the work.
In a time where a whole nation is separated from loved ones, isolated by choice as a mass act of kindness, ASAOW
celebrates the story of community, the story of storytelling. The installation, housed within an area of the city felt
to be previously overlooked by the artworld, in this moment becomes a central focus of creativity, and an emblem
community. With the artwork literally covering the homes and community areas of M&B, the unique circumstance
of this time allows the community to be a central element of both our local and national story.
The uniquely connected exhibition at Fabrica, equally interprets human connectivity by translating an immersive
installation entirely through digital mediums. As the artist physically build their colourful artwork, knowing that a
single soul may never tread within their artwork to experience it as initially intended, another layer of surrealism is
embedded within the piece.
