There are only images—nothing but images—unfolding endlessly. Fleeting movements, connections between images and gestures that explore the intersection of motion, perception, the unconscious–conscious, and the relationship between the human and the mechanical.
Through repetition and audiovisual assembly, the pieces provocatively juxtapose everyday and poetic elements that invite us to question our most deeply rooted perceptions.
An evocative juxtaposition of different elements reflects on the nature of everyday gestures, our concept of domesticity, and the transition between reality and illusion. It challenges daily interactions and how we perceive the world around us—pushing us beyond what is merely apparent. How do we experience and perceive the codes of our environment?
Errant Gestures, by Maya Schweizer, acts as a fluid choreography that interweaves the intentional and unintentional gestures of various individuals. The work explores how these seemingly simple movements connect to different states of consciousness. Narrated by the voice of philosopher Vilém Flusser, it reflects on movement patterns and their profound connections to the human mind. The gestures, seemingly trivial, are part of a complex system of relationships between the conscious and the unconscious, redefining how we interact with our surroundings.
Semiotics of the Home, by Hsin-Yu Chen & Jessi Ali Lin, turns construction machinery into the leading bodies performing everyday household tasks, displacing our traditional notions of domestic life. This playful and subversive inversion radically shifts our perceptions. The work deconstructs the idea of the familiar and the functional, imagining new ways of inhabiting and relating to our environment.
Universe II, by Mauricio Alejo, presents a simple gesture as the axis of perceptual transformation. A single act, a perceptual shift through illusion, reveals the fragility of our visual beliefs.
