dream knowledge, no, ledge, noh, no knowledge

The title of this exhibition disorients the act of understanding, unraveling language into fragments that hover between sound and sense. It does not aim to construct a coherent message but instead evokes the precarious balance between presence and absence, connection and detachment. This tension mirrors the dynamics of intimacy and boundaries that define human relationships—moments where closeness becomes both a comfort and a rupture.

Central to the exhibition is an unmoving figure, breathing yet distant, cloaked in the artifice of a mask that obscures identity and invites projection. Nearby, the smoke of handmade incense blended with human hair lingers, its scent occupying the room in a way that is both intimate and intrusive. The underexposed birthday photograph on the wall, faint and evasive, gestures toward the partial nature of memory, leaving gaps for the viewer to navigate.

This exhibition explores the fragile interplay between personal space and shared experience, extending beyond human relationships to the way objects, smells, and gestures shape the thresholds between self and other. It resists resolution, offering instead a space where familiarity is refracted into something uncanny, inviting viewers to confront the limits of recognition and connection.
