The artist Jim Lockey presents three new works in response to Emanuel Swedenborg’s theological writing. The exhibition, installed throughout Swedenborg House, includes: the exegetical study of mundane architecture, photographs of hidden realities, and documentation of a pilgrimage to discover all of art. Whilst the narratives Jim creates within his works are never more than plainly fictional they invite close inspection of our distinctions between what is real and what is imagined.
