MIRROR MIRROR - exhibition + film screening
FRIDAY - SUNDAY
4-6 APRIL 10am-8pm
PRIVATE VIEW SATURDAY 6-9PM
An anxious and uncomfortable display of strained relationships and absurd traditions are immortalised in gloriously beautiful sculpture and cinema.
A fusion of sculpture, art installation and cinema, Mirror Mirror is an exciting new collaboration between ceramic artist Anna Barlow and film director Joe Morgan.
Now showing at Kollectiv Folkestone, the show reflects the artists’ shared fascination with the absurdity of etiquette, the cyclical endurance of family dynamics whilst shrouded in the politeness of English protocol.
Grotesque, yet glorious, the coming together of Morgan’s film and Barlow’s sculptures presents a razor-sharp and immersive experience that explores the heightened moments of celebration, with the constant threat of tension and strained relationships.
The exhibition which seamlessly displays the work of both Barlow and Morgan gives us an inflated and hyperreal critique of English society and self-reflection in the 21st century.
Morgan’s constantly looping drama runs alongside Barlow’s dreamlike ceramics, creating a multimedia installation that entices the viewer towards a familiar, and endless dinner that we must do our duty to attend.
Anna Barlow is a highly celebrated ceramist and fine artist, currently living and working in London. Anna has had her work shown in galleries across the world, including 2024 Homer Faber Venice and 2025 Design Miami. Anna is also a lecturer at Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design.
