Imagine a Dead Blue Whale Inside the Pocket of a Giant is a group show curated by Giulia Pollicita and Eunice Tsang featuring Michela de Mattei, Sara Ravelli, Tap Chan, Ocean Leung, Adam Harrison, Roberto Fassone, Simon Liu, and Adele Di Pasquale.

Michela will show a work from the series Handsightings, silver foil ‘scratch cards’ revealing grainy photogrpahic stills documenting the existence of the said to be extinct Tasmanian tiger (a.k.a the Thylacine). These frozen moments each come from a 19’29’’ video, assembled and edited by Michela from footage circulating amongst an online network of ‘Thylacine believers’. Echoing the ‘quest’ undertaken by this network, Michela occludes each of her stills behind a screen of grey, re-translating these digital records into chance encounters. Following her own quest-like process, Michela scratches into her print’s silvered surfaces so as to slightly reveal their haunting presences.

Opening on Saturday 21 March, the show will run until Friday 22 May 2026.
