In this age dominated by speed and mobility, our “self”seems to have long lost its stability. Identity is no longer a single label, but a river constantly drifting, shifting, and reshaping. It traverses memory and reality, emerging in new forms at the margins of culture.
“Drifting Selves” invites 51 artists from around the world to explore the fluidity of contemporary identity. Employing diverse forms such as video, installation, painting, and photography, the works address a state between “here”and “elsewhere”—how we are viewed by others and how we observe ourselves within the migrating body, the fractured nature of language, and the mirrored forms of digital space.
This drifting is not a form of loss, but a way of being. It allows us to learn to locate ourselves amidst uncertainty and redefine the meaning of I. ”When boundaries blur and foundations are loosened, we begin to search for our own coordinates in a constant cycle of departures and arrivals.
“Drifting Selves” is an exhibition about “becoming.”It‘s about how we continually reinvent ourselves within the flow of the world.
