Award winning artist Uta Kögelsberger explores humanity’s relationship with nature in a show at the Hatton Gallery in Newcastle.

Through a series of interconnected works spanning video, sound and installation, the exhibition continues Kögelsberger’s sustained investigation of the complex relationships between human and ecological systems in a time of environmental change. It brings together, for the first time, four major bodies of new and existing works that navigate the tensions between destruction and nurture, fragility and resilience, loss and regeneration. Artworks include ‘Fire Complex’ (2020-22), ‘Forest Complex’ (2023-24), ‘Off Road’ (2008-2014) and ‘Forest Choir’ (2025), which is a new piece created in collaboration with the Brussels Opera Youth Orchestra, drawing on research that claims that music can accelerate plant growth and strengthen their immune systems.
