The Time Flies Over Us But Leaves Its Shadow Behind exhibition series is a long-term research project that evolves and expands with each edition. Focusing on moving image creations, the exhibition explores the potential of moving images as a medium, spanning from film and video to artist-created video games and conceptual installations, while offering a contemporary commentary.
Moving images in contemporary art trace their origins to cinema, beginning with Eadweard Muybridge’s iconic capture of a galloping horse. Traditional cinematic conventions relied on viewers‘ consistent perception of movement within the frame and the passage of time during viewing. In the context of art, moving images extend beyond cinema, entering the museum space where artists take the lead, employing diverse methods to manipulate the flow of time. Freed from the constraints of linear time in the real world, moving images explore and reimagine the relationship between time and space, enabling new forms of reflection and observation.
The exhibition showcases a variety of perspectives on place and space, bringing together moving image works from different regions, exploring regional contexts and environments, with the manipulation of time as the central theme. Taking the venue into consideration, the exhibition explores the possibilities of installation and display, showcasing the multifaceted nature of moving images and offering audiences unique viewing experience.
