“Tempor[e]alities” centers artistic positions that approach time as moving interrelations between collective, individual and material experiences. Through their narratives, forms and methods, they make us aware of our presence in time: that at any given moment we exist in multiple temporalities, constantly re-locating our past and present selves in relation to others and our environment.
Flesh, earth, and water all carry within the movements of time - the endless cycles of becoming and unravelling, of decomposition and regeneration, of erosion and disintegration. Landscapes and oceans remember, and so do our bodies, becoming archives of ever-changing, interconnected histories.
The exhibition takes place in a vacant Altbau apartment, about to be renovated. In this liminal space suspended between its past and future, the exhibition becomes a speculative cartography of scenarios and moments in time, hosting artifacts in the state of (temporal) flux and documentations of future histories.
As the writer Lola Olufemi observes: “the future is not in front of us, it is everywhere simultaneously: multidirectional, variant, spontaneous. We only have to turn around.”
