Eleven artists will come together for this extraordinary exhibition using stories and multimedia to intertwine the ‘as it was’, ‘the here and now’ and the ‘what is yet to come’. Travelling across worlds, expect to see works of multiple perspectives using virtual reality, video, game design and sound. At the centre of the exhibition is a Bioscope, an old form of travelling cinema that fed the imaginations of a generation of people in the global south through the magic of moving images by a hand crank. Bioscope comes from Greek (bios, life; skopeein, to look at) and the Oxford English dictionary’s traditional definition of a bioscope is ‘a view or survey of life’.

The machine invites viewers to both participate in, and actively engage in, the act of reanimating time. Every turn of the crank creates the movement of the images, transforming static pictures into time-conscious constructions.Time Travel across Many-Worlds is curated by artist Kinnari Saraiya as part of her Frieze x Deutsche Bank Curatorial Fellowship at BALTIC. The Bombay-born artist and curator describes herself as primarily a storyteller, blending myths and legends. She works across film, sculpture, animation and drawing interweaving complex concepts and narratives together.
