Chimera is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film, also titled
Chimera, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works
Hands Performance and
Build or Destroy with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives. This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from
Build or Destroy, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking, layering the architecture of film, movement, and world-building to probe themes of identity, resistance, and creation.
