THE OVERVIEW EFFECT is the term given to the cognitive shift experienced by some astronauts when viewing the Earth from space. They report unexpected emotions, an overwhelming sense of beauty, and an increased feeling of connection to other people and the Earth as a whole.

From February – May 2024, video works by artists Tang Han, Ruth Waters and Rachel Rose will explore ideas around our time on Earth, offering a shift in perspective through their depictions of the natural world.

WATCH ALL THREE WORKS

On Saturday 11 May from 11am – 6pm, you can view all three artworks in one visit: Tang Han’s Ginkgo and Other Times; Ruth Waters’ Swallow Up; and Rachel Rose’s The Last Day.
