A Riddle Within a Riddle is a poetic and melancholic journey through several landscapes connected to the reading of an old prophecy. Through a labyrinth of single and multi-channel video works and photographic neon works, we hear a woman’s voice reciting the lyrics of a song, recorded in the late 1970s by the Bahamian musician Exuma, about a prophecy for the 22nd century.
