All That Changes You. Metamorphosis will be on view at Victoria Miro, London, from 13 February to 21 March 2026. Presented as a five-screen installation, the work is an immersive meditation on transformation, moving between science fiction, philosophy, ecology and architecture.
Originally commissioned for the 500th anniversary of Palazzo Te in Mantua, Verona, the project arrives in London reconfigured as a mirrored, multi-screen environment, accompanied by new photographic works. Structured as a visual poem, the film imagines new forms of life and identity beyond the human, asking how we might learn to live with an increasingly unstable world.
The work draws on the thinking of writers such as Octavia Butler, Naomi Mitchison, Ursula K. Le Guin and Donna Haraway, whose idea of “becoming-with” frames metamorphosis as both necessity and creative act. Two protagonists guide the narrative: Sheila Atim as Lilith, a mythic posthuman figure inspired by Butler’s fiction, and Gwendoline Christie as Naomi, loosely based on Mitchison’s Memoirs of a Spacewoman. Speaking from different temporal positions, their dialogue explores vulnerability, empathy and adaptation.
Architecture plays a central role, from Palazzo Te’s Room of the Giants to Charles Jencks’s Cosmic House in London and Herzog & de Meuron’s glass pavilion in Napa Valley, set against images of ancient woodland, jellyfish and forest fires.
Presented across five screens, the installation resists linear storytelling, inviting viewers to move through overlapping images and collapsing timelines.
