WALKTHROUGH, 2025


WALKTHROUGH
Organised by Camille Laurelli and Sten Saarits
Bob Bicknell-Knight, Alisa Butenko, Rosa-Maria Nuutinen, Yiyang Sun
12th July – 4th August 2025
Kuressaare Castle, Saaremaa, Estonia

Bob Bicknell-Knight, Alisa Butenko, Rosa-Maria Nuutinen and Yiyang Sun explore video games as an artistic medium, examining how material culture, time, and the environment are perceived and constructed across both physical and digital realms.The exhibition itself is a liminal manifestation of the two worlds, where the viewers are invited to explore the many spaces that the exhibition occupies. Looting is a fundamental part of video games, where the player has an opportunity to upgrade or increase their powers through exploring the digital environment, much of the time in minute detail. Many of these found items are worthless, and the chance of finding the most valuable loot is limited. Like in games, we invite the viewer to explore the different spaces and discover the separate artworks.

Bob Bicknell-Knight exhibited Routine (2025), Drag (2025), Idol (2025), Decline (2025) and Ornament (2025).
