Adriette Myburgh is a London-based artist who creates immersive installations shaped by architecture, myth, and storytelling. Working across sculpture, drawing, animation, ceramics, and light-based media, she constructs fictional worlds that visitors move through as if navigating a story.

With a background in architecture, Myburgh uses speculative environments to explore themes of surveillance, extraction, and capitalism in indirect and poetic ways. Her installations often feature illuminated architectural chambers, small figures, drawings, and sculptural relics that function as fragments from imagined worlds.

Each project unfolds across multiple scales, combining hand-sized elements with room-sized structures. Drawings act as field notes, while printed booklets provide narrative maps that guide movement and interpretation. Visitors are invited to assemble meaning through attention, reading, and spatial exploration.

Myburgh describes her practice as architectural soulcraft: a way of building spaces that heighten awareness of perception itself, and that test how imagination and tenderness might help us reorient within complex systems of control.

Vanishing Point to Invert the World through Six Apples

About

A sculptural scramble of soulless floorplans and bureaucratic cabbage heads, where the leftovers of architecture sprout apples of revolt.

Vanishing Point to Invert the World through Six Apples is a speculative artwork that exists as a sculptural installation, a printed book, and a downloadable digital booklet.

In it, dead logic is composted into new blueprints, inviting ankles and taste buds alike to dance across architectures rearranged.

This work can be encountered as a publication, exhibited in a gallery, or installed as part of a larger spatial intervention.

The Lost Soul Imaginary

The Lost Soul Imaginary

About

A crumpled breadcrumb of a parable, where a shadowy dog bites through cubicles, paper-pushing bread-beasts, and optical trapdoors tasting watchtower dust and dancing the lost souls of a soulless loop into a turtle-lit tapestry of almost-redemption.

This work unfolds both as a sculptural narrative and as a booklet, an artwork in its own right, whether read, exhibited, or experienced in space.
