“Timeless Interactions” features selected works from Akeroyd Collection that explore the artist's body in participatory actions, highlighting the intricate interplay of identity, memory, and the ephemeral nature of existence. Presented on the ground floor of HART Haus in the form of a mini black box cinema, the exhibition invites visitors to experience these narratives within a quiet, cocooned environment that relates to the show’s theme of timelessness.
In presenting the body not as a passive vessel but as an active agent in experiencing, interpreting, and shaping the world, each work investigates how physical presence and embodied experiences suspends ordered time. As the bodies on screen gesture, move, and navigate through their worlds, the relationship between body and environment unfolds, expressing how spaces influence identity and offering nuanced perspectives on the connection between self and place. Viewers are prompted to consider how bodies engage with cultural narratives and historical contexts, uncovering the threads that link us across time and space. Within these multifaceted explorations are larger questions around our shared humanity and how we navigate our identities within timeless spaces, inviting reflections on the traces we leave behind.
This exhibition is presented by HART Haus as an offsite programme of Supper Club 2025. Special thanks to the Akeroyd Collection for generously loaning these works for the showcase.
