Martin O'Brien, 'Overture for the End: An Ashen Place', Whitechapel Gallery, 2023. Photo by Fenia Kotsopoulou.
Enter a haunting world, exploring queerness, illness and disability through occult tropes and endurance practices
Martin O’Brien is an artist living in ‘zombie time’. Born with a life shortening disease, his work explores death, dying and the philosophical implications of living longer than expected.
In this new performance, O'Brien approaches mortality with his trademark wit and intensity. This performance is offered as part of Other Worlds, a season responding to the Edward Burra and Ithell Colquhoun exhibitions.
