Livia Rita

In 2026, Livia becomes on one of Mediamatic's artist in residence where she transforms the historical Sluisdeurenloods building in a post-apocalyptic realm. Dystopia Wetlands investigates speculative ecologies where new beings emerge through touch and scent. Focusing on tactile experimentation and creature creation, the artist is simultaneously developing an olfactory palette of scents to symbolise hybridity and metamorphosis. The project culminates in an immersive, multisensory exhibition combining sculpture, scent, wearable elements, and sound. Both the opening and finissage will feature live performances that activate the space and trace the evolution of the creatures.
