Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum

It Will End In Tears

— ,The Curve
Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum installation photography

In her first solo exhibition at a major UK institution, Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum filled The Curve with theatrical installations, building an imagined world in which to display her paintings.

We entered a world of Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum’s creation in ‘It Will End in Tears’. We moved through a series of life-size dioramas, viewing paintings in a narrative sequence, as a story unfurled of a ‘femme fatale’ film noir character living in an imagined colonial outpost. We found out what happens when our main character deviates from the norm and doesn’t follow the rules dictated to her by society.

Featuring drawing, painting and installation, Sunstrum’s artworks reflect her experience of living across Africa, Southeast Asia, and North America. Her boundary-crossing practice is imbued with formative experiences of a life lived at, across, and in the liminal spaces between borders, alongside notions of home and wholeness.
