Exhibition Opening: Traces of A Traumatic Future

Golden Thread Gallery is presenting a new body of work by French artist Frédéric Huska, who is based in Northern Ireland. Working across photography, writing and film, Huska explores the relationship between personal experience, history and landscape. This new exhibition features a series of black and white analogue photographs of Taiwan’s coastline, seen as places shaped by political tension and uncertainty.

The project focuses on fourteen beaches identified as possible landing sites in the event of invasion. Starting at the sea and moving inland toward the mountains, the photographs follow the shape of the land. The images hold a quiet tension, moving between distance and closeness, presence and absence.

The photographs suggest futures that may never happen, yet still influence how we see the present. Using analogue photography, Huska reflects on time, memory and how images carry traces of both past and future.
