Helen Marten's Five-Chapter Film 'This Weather' at Sadie Coles HQ
Helen Marten presents 'This Weather', a film in five chapters, at Sadie Coles HQ. The work originated as part of her opera performance '30 Blizzards.', commissioned by Miu Miu at Palais d'Iéna for Art Basel Paris in October 2025, and is now restaged as a standalone piece. Each chapter corresponds to a symbolic life stage: childhood, community, sexuality, interiority, and loss. Five distinct monologues, voiced by women, explore metaphor and plurality rather than literal representation. The 'mother' monologue evokes an atmosphere of care.
