Eri Voss
We are pleased to announce “Temporal Index” a exhibition by Eri Voss from Wednesday April 29 – Sunday May 10, 2026. In this exhibition, Eri Voss presents photographic works created by cutting out existing materials—such as newspaper clippings, archival photographs, and news images—and reconfiguring them by separating them from their original text and context.
In newspapers, images serve a supplementary role in explaining events and are fixed to specific times and contexts. However, when text that should appear alongside them or unrelated textual information appears on the same page as the image, or when the textual information is lost, the image is finally liberated from the timeline and meaning to which it was originally bound.
In this exhibition, by juxtaposing images belonging to different eras and events, I sever the unique temporal continuity each image possessed, creating a situation where multiple times appear on the same plane. There, the unconscious act of filling in meaning occurs. The very process of cognition—attempting to generate causal relationships and narratives between these disconnected images—is laid bare. We hope you will take this opportunity to view the exhibition.
