Mishka Henner's Apocalyptic Visions at Galleria Bianconi, Milan

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Mishka Henner (born 1986, Brussels) presents a complex exhibition at Galleria Bianconi in Milan, inspired by Marshall Applewhite's 1999 televised call for mass suicide. The show explores Earth's transformations, natural disaster paradoxes, and planetary precarity. Henner demonstrates a rigorous installation practice, combining visionary and analytical approaches. The immersive experience includes a pitch-black project room where Applewhite's breathing echoes in absolute silence, and ground-floor disks emitting sounds and news of tornadoes and catastrophes. The exhibition aestheticizes drama for contemplative viewing.
