A site-specific exhibition taking place at Gallery ICA Baltimore, and extends over the entirety of the North Avenue Market space, including a giant storage area full of detritus, a labyrinth-like basement, and an abandoned bowling alley. It is experienced in a pitch dark environment only lightened by the artwork itself. Coupled with fog, scents, sound, and projected videos, it creates a multi-sensory experience that offers a post-apocalyptic vision of Baltimore’s architecture, history and future. The exhibition is a direct allusion to the short story Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis, Tertius by the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. The experience is allegorical to the story, intended to show the exact point where his world and mine converge.
"This immersive experience invites the viewer to dive into a world that seems to have devoured the construction of the gallery itself, even transgressing its limits. Its presence bleeds through to places outside of the gallery, sometimes even opening portals to spaces never seen before."
Orbis Tertius -Hlaer-to-Jangr- is TLaloC's fifth solo exhibition (his first in the United States) and is intended to contain the breadth of his interdisciplinary work. The exhibition contents make use of different processes and materials such as sculpture, illustration, animation, installation, neon, and light artworks, which work together to create a multi-sensory and otherworldly experience.
