Challenger Deep presents new work by Paul Carlo Esposito, Delia Jürgens, Sarah McMenimen, and Charisse Pearlina Weston that reflects on life in flux, deep ocean trenches acting as metaphor for our shifting status on the surface as we reckon with our geological influence and imagine ecological futures. The fluidity of tectonics demonstrates the impossibility of a stable ground — artistically, historically, and physically. Contemporary moments and movements (artistic, environmental, political) are based on unimaginably deep and densely interwoven histories and potentialities. These pasts and futures are constantly changing, revising, being forgotten, erupting back to the surface.
