Taking inspiration from Daisy Hildyard’s short story ‘The Aquarium’, Shrimp’s Eye View weaves together geological time, species evolution and reflections on humanity’s future within the broader environmental context. With all those systems morphing into each other, boundaries are diluted between bodies and surroundings, present and past, fiction and reality flow into each other creating a rippling effect within the works.

Shrimp’s Eye View aims to decentralize the focus from the human perspective, delving instead into seeing things through an abstracted filter – like the glint of a shrimp’s eye catching light in dark water, the exhibition looks at a world we know but that is transitioning into unprecedented states of being. Hybrid ceramic creatures, abstracted body parts, stretched membranes and blurred refractions weave together their own ecosystems, re-writing their own rules of existence. The exhibition moves as one organism, composed of distinct but interdependent parts. Some works seem excavated from deep terrestrial time, with weightless shifting forms, set against works which are delicate and alert. Together they suggest a landscape that is continually reshaping itself as if floating through water or space.

The gallery becomes a vessel of layers – mineral, memory, and mutation – where visitors move between installations like shrimp through the crevices of ancient rock. It suggests a world where everything is porous, where bodies and landscapes co-evolve. We can not stand from one perspective but move through the microcosm and macrocosm of alternative perspectives – through the lens of a bodily shifting light.

HAZE is a curatorial project created by artists Camilla Bliss and Solanne Bernard. It came to fruition over a bowl of jellyfish noodles in 2021, with the drive to experiment and try new things. Their shows have since organically grown as playful and curious.

Exhibitions include Spillâge at Standpoint Gallery (2025), 2 FOR 1 co-curated with Thorp Stavri (2023), Destructive Mollusc at Staffordshire Street Studios (2022), Peach Fuzz at the Factory Project (2021) and Fertile Laziness at Platform Southwark (2021).
