Temporal Diagrams

“Temporal Diagrams” is an exhibition that presents time as an active, multi-layered force within the artworks, rather than a passive backdrop. The first section features “Accumulation,” a video project exploring memory and the flow of images over years, while the second section extends this by using archival works to examine the tension between stillness and movement, presence and absence. Through diverse visual media, the exhibition creates an experience where time is sensed and continually reshaped—a living field where memory, history, and imagination intertwine in new ways.
