Daniel Scheinert is one-half of the filmmaking duo Daniels. He’s the kind of director who asks, "What if a corpse farted?"—and then goes on to make Swiss Army Man (2016). He followed that up with The Death of Dick Long (2019), a darkly hilarious film set in his hometown. Then came Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022), an award-winning, mind-bending journey through the multiverse that cemented Daniels’ commitment for blending the surreal with the profound.

The exhibition's curatorial spirit stems from a fragment of poetry within Miles Davis’s ‘Inamorata’ (1971), which asks: ‘Who is this music that which description may never justify? / Can the ocean be described?’. For Yiadom-Boakye, poetry’s ability to translate the intangible into images the mind can hold, and to think through rhythm and feeling, is similar to the act of painting.
