The story revolves around a creature named Endling, a lonely creature who is the last survivor of their species or sub-species, hence their death would mean the extinction of that species or sub-species. Endling expresses loneliness and yearns for companionship, creating situations that may satisfy their yearnings in an apocalyptically surreal environment.

Jette Loona Hermanis of Estonian and Latvian descent is a performance artist, performer and choreographer. She graduated as a choreographer from the Amsterdam School for New Dance Development (SNDO). Her art is always accompanied by mystical transcendence or crossing the boundaries of experience, and there is a yearning to express affect. Strongly influenced by the digital era, her creative material strongly attempts to place itself at the centre and to reaffirm the online self-image by displaying emotional narratives of herself and existentialism. The storytelling format she uses – entwining an electronic soundtrack with a body – depicts hyperreal situations to which she can surrender.

The exhibition Through the Black Gorge of Your Eyes opens a new perspective on the oeuvre of Estonian women graphic artists who emerged in the second half of the 1960s. The contemporary performance artists Jette Loona Hermanis, Kaja Kann and Keithy Kuuspu have been invited to performatively relate to the artists and their works.
