"Interpretation is not an isolated act, but takes place within a Homeric battlefield, on which a host of interpretive opinions and either openly or implicitly in conflict" Fredric Jameson, The Political Unconscious

NEVEREVEN delves into the unstable nature of contact zones—spaces where cultures, identities, and histories intersect and reshape one another. Through a three-channel video, image, text, stamped time, color (RGB) and sound installation, the exhibition invites viewers into a multi-sensory experience, layering movement, sound, and imagery to evoke the complexities of connection and discord. NEVEREVEN extends beyond the projected screens; the installation invites audiences to navigate shifting perspectives and in-betweenness spaces where meaning is continually negotiated.
