About Annie Albagli:
Albagli's We Become [Vessels] is a video-based installation responding to a desire for touch and mobility. Originally installed at Headlands, We Become [Vessels] pairs a shofar, or ram's horn—a tool from Jewish tradition used to mark the new moon and new year, said to have toppled the walls of Jericho—with rocks inviting human touch, video projection and sound, and printed silk flags. The resulting installation invites contemplation, using ancestral tools for the exploration of the threshold of the self, our interdependence, and speculative imaginings.

About Anja Ulfeldt:
An alchemist of cast-off materials and a harnesser of invisible energies, Ulfeldt creates multi-sensory encounters touching on core themes such as resource allocation, reuse, repair, and adaptation. Using salvaged materials and technology to investigate the built environment, her installations reward curiosity, and seek to foster thoughtful relationships with emerging and declining technologies.
