James Killick
My work leans into the idea of life borrowing from death, a fragile boundary that defines our existence. A line that can only be crossed once, I explore the impermanence of existence. Through immersive media, documentary storytelling, and projection, I confront the inevitable - the slow, often unseen process of loss, decay, and transformation.
Cryosphere allowed me to connect to the frozen landscapes of glaciers, and I met the realisation that they are monuments to extinction and change. They bear witness to a warming world where time itself melts away.
Within this work, I was channelling the quiet urgency of loss, of the natural world, community, and ultimately how it affects humanity. Reflecting on how we face a future shadowed by death and decline, and yet still holds a fragile beauty that demands reverence and reflection.
Exploring the human psyche’s response to crisis, exploring vulnerability and the unravelling of expectation within society. A platform for empathy, elevating the viewer to empowerment, confronting the idea of change in a meaningful way, removing them from the firing line of blame.
Through documentary and immersive forms, I want to continue exploring how life borrows from death, how nature mirrors us, and how climate change threads through it all.
