Cyclical, eternal, present, linear, fragmented, distorted, biological and personal, time in its various forms and meanings, has been the territory of analysis in philosophy, religion, science and art in every era. The exhibition raises questions on how we can give shape to the complex nature of time and how forms change and evolve in the flux of time.
Do these forms also undergo changes in their meaning? Does our time have a form? The temporal nature of our existence is a mystery that connects us all. The past is "no longer", the future is "not yet", and the present is a vanishing "now".
Through the exploration of six different research in visual, music and performative art, The Tilt of Time presents reflections that range from the transformation of objects and their meanings over time and history to the current role of artificial intelligence in the creation of images and its relationship with the visual arts.
The exhibition also touches on the geopolitical tensions of our present, and explores the definition of personal time through sound and performative experience.
