The Short Hour explores the experience of losing time and space, examining states in which familiar orders of time, body, space, and material begin to waver. Its point of departure is a form of perception that oscillates between intense concentration and disorientation, between complete immersion in a moment and the sense of losing time, whether simply in motionless lingering on a sofa or in the ecstatic experience of a single instant.

The exhibition turns its attention to fleeting transitions and moments of change: to things that flow beyond their boundaries, shift, transform, and resonate with one another. Time and space appear here not as fixed quantities but as fragile and mutable structures, in which reality can only be grasped momentarily.
