adrien châtelain (they/them) is a transdisciplinary artist & musician working with installation, sonics, analogue photography, poetry, performance, software, sculpture and handcrafts. Inspired by decay and the more-than-human world, their artworks are informed by their identity as a queer desi artist. At the showcase, adrien will be performing selected tracks from their forthcoming debut album, And If You Look…, in a multichannel, theatrical set centred around the climate catastrophe - and what lies beyond it.

Displayed here are artefacts from the performance: a handmade brass vambrace fashioned into a string instrument, symbolising growth and becoming; a bird-like coat, taking inspiration from nature; a dress replicating ribs and a sternum in handmade chainmail and brass, accentuating strength in vulnerability; a moss rug created from scraps and secondhand fabrics; and a resin deer mask printed by Richies 3D.

With unending gratitude to Marco, Isaac, Cal, Al, Steph and Jeff for their contributions, support and patience.
