Imagine if a day extended from 24 to 25 hours.
What kind of life would unfold in that extra hour?

Featuring 17 artist groups from 7 countries, this exhibition explores the sensibilities arising after significant “experiences (events)” shift perceptions of time and space.
The goal is to spark a dialogue transcending personal experience, examining the mutual influence between individuals and society. Whether due to a pandemic or disaster, the distance between people and their surroundings starts to change, leading to new relationships between the human and non-human, public and private realms.
Life’s cycles forge new identities and emotional bonds. During migration, the body and mind may recalibrate momentarily. If “experiences (events)” inevitably traverse our lives, altering paths and giving new meanings to familiar things, then the exhibition space becomes a tangible manifestation of abstract temporal and spatial transformations. Here, we follow the rhythm of the artworks to contemplate urban structures, labor memories, and another reality behind modern society’s surface.
Time and space, as physical forms, confine our perceptions within limits. The 25-Hour Days hopes to guide us with a lighter step, wandering through different dimensions of time and space, setting aside existing rules and embracing the emotions we project onto society.
