A typewriter foretells;
A mutant moose at large;
A swirl into the sewage tunnel digesting the unknown.



Info, Exhibition and Credit:

our slanted. deserted. pursuit was an exhibition at hARTslane, London, co-curated by Flo Yuting Zhu, Pietro Bardini and Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong, featuring their work across installation, performance, film and sound. Following a trail of uncertain evidence, the exhibition connected an AI prophecy machine, a shifting narrative of disappearance and a journey through London’s underground sewage systems. These encounters explored how machine intelligence, urban infrastructure and digital erasure shape what becomes visible, what disappears and what we accept as truth. The curatorial framing placed the audience in the position of witnesses and interpreters, inviting them to piece together fragments, question the authority of images and consider how belief emerges from incomplete information.

The exhibition took place at hARTslane, 17 Hart’s Lane, London SE14 5UP, from 11–13 June, with free entry. Live performances took place on 11 and 12 June, from 18:30–20:00.

Co-curated by Flo Yuting Zhu, Pietro Bardini and Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong, featuring works by all three artists; Graphic design by Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong.
