Temporary Bodies

In the organizer's words:

Human existence is inextricably linked to its own finiteness. It is often painful to consciously deal with transience - loss, death and grief rarely find a place in our everyday lives. And yet they have a unique power: they can release energy, open up new perspectives and create spaces for transformation. The group exhibition Temporary Bodies explores this transformative potential that arises from the confrontation with transience. It reflects the human desire to capture memories, moments and objects - as an attempt to inscribe oneself in the world and counteract the inevitability of disappearance. The focus is on the human body: as a temporal unit, as a vessel of lived experience. It appears not only as a mortal container of the self, but as a place where life, relationships and experiences are inscribed. Following Jean-Luc Nancy's understanding of the corpus, the body is not understood as an independent, self-contained unit, but as a permeable, relational structure - open to transformation, shaped by everything that touches it. A temporary archive: vulnerable, transient, in motion.
