The exhibition is dedicated to understanding internal transformations in response to a traumatic event. Artists view fragility and antifragility differently in connection with trauma and the need to adapt and overcome it.
”The recommendation to group up before falling is not without meaning: it contains the bitter experience
of predecessors, and it is better not to neglect it.
In fact, this means taking on a new form in dramatically changing conditions of existence.
Tolerance of uncertainty is an important skill in our era.
A person, as a complex structure of ideas about himself and social norms, physiological data
and cognitive perception, sometimes finds himself in a state of dissociation. Just as torm
inevitably determines the content, so the reverse process occurs - the context of time, events taking place
in the world, leaves no chance to exist in the same form. From this point of view, dissociation no longer
seems to be a personality fracture, but rather a reorganization, a new form for a new life.
As for the exhibitors themselves, each of them goes through a stage
in their own way when external migration leads to internal migration, making everything mobile that
previously seemed static.”
The author is represented in the exhibition with an installation ‘I’d rather be a dog’ and ‘Nudes&Notes’ zine.
