Impeccable Imagination at ICD Brookfield
Dubai, UAE
15 January – 22 February 2025
Inspired by nature's awe and serenity, the exhibition is a multisensory experience that captures the essence of nature's fragility, resilience, and untamed spirit. Featuring works from 15 international artists, the exhibition highlights the healing power of the natural world and is set in Dubai, where modern innovation meets vast desert landscapes. It marks the first time works of Simon Berger were exhibited in Dubai. The concept of the Sublime refers to experiences that transcend comprehension, evoking awe through their vastness, whether spiritual, physical, or aesthetic. Artist Ambika Hinduja Macker explores this idea through her immersive art experience, The Sublime Nature of Being. In collaboration with ICD Brookfield Place, Macker invited audiences to emotionally and sensorially engage with art that expresses the awe and reverence nature inspires. The exhibition, showcasing works by 15 renowned contemporary artists, celebrates the elemental forces—Water, Fire, Earth, Air, and Spirit. Visitors are immersed in a sensory journey, where water nurtures, fire ignites, earth grounds, air inspires, and spirit connects. The show features sculptures, paintings, installations, and sound, all blending aesthetics and the healing power of nature. Through the sculptures and two-dimensional works that were shown in the exhibition, Berger engaged with various symbolically charged animals and plants, telling new stories through his iconic technique. The seahorse symbolises the balance between vulnerability and power, the dove embodies peace and grace, and the horse honors strength, heritage and freedom. This exhibition, which is the first time Berger’s works were shown in Dubai, invites the new audience to discover even more nuances of Berger’s work.
