Latai Taumoepeau is an artist who thinks big. Not only is her subject matter expansive—the impact of global warming and rising sea levels in the South Pacific—increasingly she produces works of remarkable scale.
Deep Communion sung in minor (ArchipelaGO, THIS IS NOT A DRILL), which premiered at Venice as part of Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania and is now on at Artspace in Sydney, uses musical scores and sculptural interactive machines that simulate paddle boards to bring the immediacy of the climate crisis to the forefront.
It's a ritual and ceremony for our times, steeped in tradition; a call to action; and a love letter to her ancestral homeland of Tonga.
