In the exhibition “UnAttached," Hannah Rothschild explores her personal habitat as a wild territory, where struggles of life and death take place. For two years, she observed and documented the small and large lives that swarmed around her house, collecting, gathering, deconstructing and putting together the elements of her biosphere story.



“UnAttached” is a different ethical perspective, close in spirit to the words of James Hillman, in the opening quote: "The world [is] not only a coded signature to be read for meaning, but a physiognomy to be faced. As expressive forms, things speak [...] They announce themselves, bear witness to their presence: 'Look, here we are’."

Here dove feathers blossom from dry bark; the wings of a dragonfly carry the body of an emaciated lizard; parakeet foliage rises from dead roots; air gun pellets balance leafy feathers.
