Stay With Me tried to combine ‘white cube’ and ‘black cube’ situations in a time based choreography in one room. Contentwise the exhibtion questions essential contradictions of our time: the longing for togetherness in a world of increasing polarization, a world where collective pasts and realities are processed algorithmically.

stay close

stay here

a connection

disappearing

stay with me

to release what still holds us.

we drift through contradictions,

longing for closeness in an atomized world,

where memory is filtered,

where feeling is flattened by code.

feel held

carried

lost

while existing in an atmosphere of nostalgia, we are haunted by the outlines of a future

we never asked for.

Would you just stay with me?
