Unbeknownst to us, an hour has slipped away. Time, in its essence, bears no mark; the circle seems to be its vessel.
This exhibition is inspired by a casual exchange at a street corner, where four individuals unwittingly turned together in synchrony without conscious. Myriad possibilities unfurl—these subtle, unrecognized movements often go unnoticed. Individual actions and decisions subtly guide the collective flow; while each person retains a sense of self-awareness, it facilitates an unspoken gesture among the four.
This exhibition showcases the reflections of four artists on the changes occurring in the daily and social fabric, those transformations that transpire in a state of “unawareness.” Through diverse sensory experiences, they resurrect these overlooked fragments, inviting the audience to rediscover habits altered in the depths of the unconscious. Each artist approaches the theme from distinct angles: “Circulation,” “Numbness,” “Ruminating,” and “Habit,” presenting their insights into the essence of the “unconscious.”
We cordially invite you to step into this artistic exploration of the “unawareness”, where the subtle interplay between individuals and collectives unfolds within the circle of time.
