An exhibition about the ephemeral.
About transitions, dissolutions, states of suspension – and the question of what eludes our perception.

n e b u l a is dedicated to the ephemeral as a mode – a condition of artistic thinking in which forms oscillate, meanings shift, and perception enters a state of tentative suspension.

The exhibition brings together positions that engage with transitions – visual, material, atmospheric.
The works unfold across diverse artistic media: painterly image-spaces, photographic fragments, drawn traces, sculptural constellations, and moving images – making transitions tangible within materiality itself.

At the center lies what withdraws: what flickers, slips, displaces.
Body, image, and language enter into a relation that resists fixation.
n e b u l a conceives of transitions as constellative fields in which perception becomes destabilized.

The assembled works articulate fleeting states.
Texture and image emerge as temporary condensations of a constantly shifting structure – where every formation is already imbued with its own dissolution.

The exhibition reflects the states of uncertainty that mark our present:
economic tensions, ecological upheaval, diffuse visions of the future.

Yet n e b u l a offers no answers, no order, no narrative.
Instead, it opens a space in-between – a field of possibility in which perception transforms, meanings dissolve, and new figures of thought may emerge.

A choreographed interstice
where perception is not affirmed, but unsettled, displaced, expanded.

n e b u l a insists on that aesthetic dimension
where seeing becomes porous, hearing becomes tactile, and thinking remains provisional.

Not a statement, but a state.
Not form, but movement.
Not image, but threshold.
