ASCENSIO: AETERNA MULTIVERSE (2023) is a single-channel video work by Liberté Grace exploring timelessness and the fall of power through the enlightenment of our darkest histories. What if time did not exist, and we could access everything that we are, were, and will become—before, during, and after birth—even death, and our eventual enlightenment?
In the realm of infinite potentials, a fictional persona called ASCENSIO explores the recesses of its infinite inner consciousness and soul, realising its soul's unlimited nature beyond time. Within its imagined inner universe are endless rooms of consciousness. Within them, a grand dance takes place in which many versions of itself, no matter their characteristics, are destined to fulfil their highest potential of wisdom, maturity, and ultimate resolution.
Within the universe of ASCENSIO, the colour gold represents the wisdom of the soul within—the potential for the total transmutation of humanity's darkest histories and archetypes into wisdom and pure light, through the absolute love and acceptance of the timeless self.
ASCENSIO: AETERNA MULTIVERSE was recently showcased at the Adelaide Festival Centre, as part of their moving image program and was selected to be featured in Condenast Magazine, 'The World Of Interiors'.

Choreography/ Direction/ Performance: Victoria Hunt
Organic, electrifying and utterly immersive, Australian/Maori artist Victoria Hunt presents a richly detailed, large-scale work exploring mythology, cosmology and traditional wisdom in Tangi Wai… the cry of water.
Merging installation, theatre and dance, audiences are transported to the Maori realm of spirits Te Arai, an arduous passage at the precipice of human existence and the afterlife. Here, messengers from the past, bodies abandoned by spirit and urged by unknown forces, transform mythology into flesh and bone.
Supported by – Tangi Wai…the cry of water was originally commissioned by Performance Space (Sydney). The Dance Massive Season is supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body, Artful Management and the City of Melbourne through Arts House.
Music Composition by Gerhard Fankhausen.
An original composition to support moving beyond gravity into pure heart and flow. "I've created this music especially for this project, for you, and I hope it will touch your heart and inspire you. Allow yourself to listen deeply, to commune with the sounds and to rise above gravity, beyond the horizon. Gratitude to my dear wife Einat Gilboa for her celestial vocals and her loving guidance in this creation as well as to Tamir Gross (piano, keyboard) and Lilly Ann Bezalel (flute) for their masterful contribution." - Gerhard Fankhuasen
