Hybrid, a new public commission by Jan Pimblett, is a gathering of curiosities, strange beings, totems and relics.
They intersect, transforming a collection of isolated, freakish specimens into a narrative of otherness. The viewer experiences an uncomfortable sense of being observed and assessed by the strange inhabitants behind the glass, who briefly experience life before returning to a state of shapeless matter.
