Inspired by Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus, the works includes by Brittni Hessler (BFA 2013) and Nina Hartmann (BFA 2013) explore what it means to abuse accuracy through weavings, photographs and sculptures that reference histories of dealing with mortality. In a combination of individual and collaborative piece, both artists contemplate archetypal elements of the unknown through motifs that allude to symbols or tropes of death.
