John Gerrard’s solo show “Endling” opens at Pace, New York, presenting three new and recent large-scale simulations. Flare (Oceania) (2022, image), the exhibition’s centrepiece, links fossil fuel extraction and rising sea levels in the South Pacific, as documented by Tongan activist and artist Uili Lousi. Programmed in the Unreal game engine, Gerrard’s virtual environment runs on local Tonga time, resembling an evocative video feed from the affected region.
