This exhibition attempts to search for a flexible, elastic way of living that is demanded by a contemporary society where life is no longer secure, as we face social environments that appear unstable due to natural disasters, endless conflicts and unsettled refugee problems. In response to the situation, a super-subjective form of documentary has emerged from an attitude to ‘seize the day’ on such infirm ground. The ‘day’ in this exhibition consists of the three sections: “Night: Flash and Shimmering Light,” “the Fault,” “Daytime: Circle and Awareness.” Through exploring the uncertain, elastic ways to live with awareness of such uncertainties are presented in works of art, ranging from those produced in the 1970s to recent works by young artists exposed to the precarious situation of the present age. Viewers of the exhibition can achieve a sensuous experience of existence in a fluid yet solid state.
