“Impurity / Immunity” is a project that confronts the current era. In order to explore “coexistence” in contemporary society, which seems to be getting increasingly complex and chaotic, this exhibition introduces two concepts: “impurity” and “immunity.” Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito has described the conditions of a civilization whose people attempt to protect their own “identities” and “purities” to the extent that they end up causing their own extinction. Events such as 9.11 and the behavior of the Nazi Germany can in this way be referred to as such, and understood as a form of “auto-immunization. This said, there is the potential for anything to come into conflict with a particular immune system and become known as an “impurity.” In this sense, “coexistence” is characterized by a continuous tension between impurity and immunity.
