Jacobus Capone’s first solo exhibition in Hobart features multi and single-channel video works as well as new large format photographs, objects and artefacts which represent two-years of investigation, durational performances and invocation of the landscape which embrace geological time and confront ecological grief. Capone took water from a glacial lake in Tasmania, boiled it down to a droplet and then displaced the water 78 degrees north in the arctic. The process was reversed with a droplet from an ice-cave ‘released’ in Tasmania.
