Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum @ London Mithraeum

The Pavilion, by Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum, is an exhibition inspired by the history of the site.  She explores how the public engages with archives and artefacts, and their presentation in museum spaces.

The Pavilion is a wooden structure comprising a promenade of interrelated viewing booths reminiscent of Victorian ‘cabinets of curiosities’, often considered precursors to museums.   They house an archive of Sunstrum’s animations dating from 2007 – 2016, drawing on the artist’s fascination with ancient mythologies, scientific theories, mythological archetypes and the cosmos.
