I SAW IT WITH MY OWN HANDS<\/span> is a group exhibition that insists on transcending linguistic confines to explore the depths of human interiority. Emerging from a slippage of mumbled, nonsensical language, it provokes a fundamental inquiry: What unfolds when language falls short in articulating our innermost thoughts and emotions?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition presents an eclectic range of mediums\u2014sculpture, video, installation, sound, scent\u2014venturing into the concealed facets of our interior worlds. It encourages contemplation on existentialism through artistic interpretation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by Teju Cole’s profound insights in <\/span>Known and Strange Things: Essays, <\/span><\/i>I SAW IT WITH MY OWN HANDS<\/span> explores the concept of internal weather, emphasising the perpetual dialogue between our internal realms and materiality. In parallel with Jean-Paul Sartre’s monumental work, <\/span>Being and Nothingness<\/span><\/i>, it venerates the profound artistic freedom entwined with the inner self.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through Therese B\u00fclow’s transformative sculptures that challenge the living\/non-living dichotomy and Sahar Alkhateeb’s site-specific installation, blending malleability with a desire for both stillness and motion, the exhibition cultivates captivating tension within its artistic expression. Amin Zouiten’s introspective video and sound installations probe reality’s distortion, urging contemplation on perception, while Erik Th\u00f6rnqvist’s abstract works deconstruct foundational concepts of the European modern project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each artist\u2019s unique expression invites viewers to reimagine boundaries, perception, and physicality through a visceral and embodied experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
