“Ethereal is a very special show that closes a ten-year cycle that saw me work in various cities around the globe in a bid to reflect on the accelerated pace of change and increased cultural homogenization that characterizes our contemporary urban societies and their impact on the present human condition,” said Vhils on his upcoming solo show.
