Still Flows
A written description of the show (Exhibition statement)
Every trace is a moment captured in motion. Movement is never truly absent, it lingers in material and memory.
Movement exists in many forms—fluid and organic, structured and mechanical, deliberate and accidental or even phenomenal and psychological. Still Flows explores the paradox of motion and stillness, presenting movement not just as a physical act but as an intrinsic transformation. The exhibition invites viewers to experience movement in its varied manifestations; sometimes visible, sometimes imperceptible, highlighting the tension between stability and flux.
In a world shaped by constant transformation, Still Flows offers a moment to reflect on how changes occur not only in bursts of energy but also in subtle shifts. It seeks how traces, marks, and gestures embed themselves into materials, environments as well as our perceptions. Movement here is not always literal; it may emerge as the residue of a past action or the gentle flow of a process barely perceptible.
The exhibition encourages viewers to first engage with the artworks rather than the descriptions. This approach invites personal interpretations and responses, allowing each viewer to experience the works freely before encountering the artists’ actual intentions. Through this delayed process of contextualisation, Still Flows opens up a broader dialogue about perception and invites diverse perspectives on how movement and its traces are captured.
In this exhibition, artists question how these movements manifest within materials, systems and the body. How do artists harness those changes within materials? How does transformation shape the way things move, whether in the physical world or within own perception?
