Inside our transformed Core building, Invisible Worlds introduces the interconnectedness between life and the Earth’s environments at all scales and explores how life is shaped by and shapes this invisible ‘Life Support System’.

Along the 422 miles of exposed Cornish coastline, waves tear and tumble towards land, shaping the peninsula – and its people. Exposure to the Atlantic Ocean’s barrelling swells has led to a strong and enduring tie to the sea for so many who live here.

Exploring connections between the natural and built environments through light and texture in an exhibition of new work made by Ahmet Doğu İpek.An exhibition of new work made by Ahmet Doğu İpek during his 2025 residency at Porthmeor Studios. He mainly works with watercolour, ink, and charcoal on paper, using a slow and detailed process. His art explores how the built environment and nature connect, often using repeating patterns and shapes to reflect natural forms.

Working between documentary and the imaginary, Lithuanian-born artist Emilija Škarnulytė creates films and immersive installations that explore deep time and invisible systems, as well as power structures possibly hidden within the cosmic and geological order. In her practice, Cold War military bases, neutrino observatories, decommissioned nuclear power plants, and deep-sea data storage units become relics of a lost human culture. From the perspective of a 'future archaeologist’, Škarnulytė positions these artifacts in ways that prompt a different way of seeing and sensing the world. By exploring human-made architectures and invasive processes, she opens an altered perspective from which to question our role in society and nature, driven by processes of evolution and extinction. As part of her filmic explorations, which often delve into ocean and river habitats, the artist assumes the shape of a mermaid, half-human and half-fish, swimming through abandoned submarine tunnels, hydroelectric plants, and the waters of the Amazon. For Škarnulytė, this hybrid creature embodies not only a fictive future archaeologist but also draws connections between ancient legends and prophecies to create new mythologies for our currently endangered planet. She seamlessly blurs the boundaries between the human, the nonhuman, and the transcendental, melding scientific and mythological elements into a singular hybrid and vibrant force.
