VIDI
VIDI deals with the ambiguity of social phenomena. In this diary I examine through drawings and writing how those phenomena oscillates between contradictory meanings: What is important here is not only the motif, but also the medium of the diary. It allows me to work with fragments, repetitions, and breaks that create an open network instead of a closed narrative. VIDI consists of single pages, each 18 x 13 cm. In this form, drawings, handwritten notes, and blank spaces combine to form a structure that is neither purely private nor completely public, but moves somewhere in between. The result is a work that not only addresses ambiguity, but also methodically explores it: in terms of content through the concept of the phenomena, and in terms of form through the practice of the diary.

Not all truths need sharp edges – some shimmer best in the blur.
In a time that seems to be becoming increasingly polarized, in which one is expected to decide within seconds whether to say yes or no, black or white, 1 or 0, in a social climate in which one is given little time and space to grasp something in all its complexity, in which one is expected to define oneself and everything immediately, this exhibition presents artistic works that deal with ambiguities. Works that address the inbetween, that which cannot or need not be immediately defined precisely – that which can simultaneously signify a multiplicity.
A quiet elegance resides in that which cannot be precisely stated – a gentle space where things remain ambiguous, unspoken, yet profoundly felt – undefined but deeply meaningful. The world is not just black or white – there are many dazzling nuances in between.
The exhibition, based on an open call, thus aims to remind us of the beauty of the subtle and the unclear, of a tolerance for ambiguity and the complexity of things.
