Un-Reel Access
Through the power of light, Un-Reel Access asks that we abandon being bound by common sense and embrace creative curiosity, reframing our vision of the world. Faced with an unreachable future, Un-Reel Access points to an alternative route in which firm obstacles melt in the hands and visions of communities and individuals.

ARTIST / STUDIO BIO
Grounded in fieldwork and meaningful connections across diverse communities, Kappa seeks to explore the changes that threaten our ways of life. Drawing from their backgrounds in anthropology and science, their artistic practice delves into ways of coexisting with nature and living beings. Through their work, Kappa examines the extraordinary nature of existence, focusing on its interplay with light, shadow, and space. Since its inception, the collective has developed sculptural installations that align with their shared interests and sculptural approaches. In 2023, Kappa was commissioned by the Artichoke Trust to create Un-Reel Access for the Lumiere Biennale, a work that has since been exhibited widely across Europe.
