KAIROS: Reshaping the Flow of Time
KAIROS: Reshaping the Flow of Time
KAIROS: Reshaping the Flow of Time

KAIROS invites us to rethink time—not as something fixed and linear, but as fluid, shifting, and open to reinterpretation. In a world where time is often seen as rigid and structured, shaping our experiences and locking the past into an unchangeable narrative, KAIROS disrupts this perception. It challenges the idea that time only moves forward, instead offering a space where the present can reshape history. More than just an exhibition, KAIROS is an exploration—an invitation to experience time in new and unexpected ways.

A Journey Through Space and Time

A Journey Through Space and Time

A Journey Through Space and Time

Featuring works from 33 artists spanning painting, sculpture, performance, video, and installation, KAIROS creates a layered exploration of time’s many forms. The journey begins with still paintings and transitions into living installations where fungi grow and transform throughout the exhibition—artworks that do not simply depict time but evolve within it. As visitors move forward, they step into immersive films and artist narratives, reaching the heart of the exhibition, where time ceases to be a backdrop and instead becomes an active presence within the works.

Poetry in Motion: The Shape of Time

Poetry in Motion: The Shape of Time

KAIROS treats time as something pliable, something that can be held, shaped, and rewritten. Mai Nguyen Tri’s performances inspired by Japanese poetry transcend historical specificity, evoking shared human experiences beyond a single era. Meanwhile, Life Touches Matter by Zixiang Zhang featuring organic growth unfold over time, mirroring its unpredictability. Video works further break the conventional sense of time, using loops, ruptures, and repetition to create a rhythmic, tangible presence.

Slowing Down: A Different Kind of Engagement

This exhibition does not offer passive viewing—it encourages active participation. The layout slows the audience’s movement, shifting them from mere spectators to engaged participants. The interplay of installations and performances turns time into something physical, something that can be touched and experienced. As viewers move through the space, they find their pace gradually slowing, immersed in the ebb and flow of time itself.

KAIROS directly addresses contemporary society’s obsession with speed and efficiency, seeking meaning in a world where time feels increasingly fragmented. It asks how we perceive the past, shape the present, and reclaim control over our own sense of time. More than just an artistic exploration, the exhibition poses a deeply personal question: if we step outside the rigid structure of linear time, can we rediscover new ways of being?

KAIROS is not just about time—it is an invitation to experience time differently.
