An exhibition of work by one of Melbourne's most exciting young artists opens at The Physics Room on 28 July. Matthew Griffin's installation - TTOMMORROWW WILL BE DIFFERENT - brings together a selection of sculptural and video works that riff off Norwegian Black Metal's obsession with death in an ongoing interest with society's paranoias and taboos around this subject.

Griffin draws upon pop-cultural myths and legends with a critical edge and wry sense of humour. One video work features a woman playing music by Burzum, an electronic project by death metal musician Count Grishnackh (produced while in prison for killing fellow musician Euronymous, allegedly motivated by jealousy over the fact that Euronymous had a more evil reputation), while reading accounts of Euronymous's murder.

Another video work has been described by Griffin as "a sort of Blow Up meets Benny Hill photo shoot", loaded with black metal logos. The installation is an exploration into the nature of time, perception, and the prediction of future events, with a melancholic parlour trick twist. Griffin creates a sense of the frozen moments before the fall.
