Josilda da Conceição presents, for the opening of the new season, the exhibition Out of Time. The exhibition will be on view from Friday 5 September during Gallery Night from 17:00 to 20:00.
Out of Time
“ Nothing in mental life ever truly perishes. Every room is layered with all the rooms that has been transformed. The infrastructures around us — water, gas, electricity, internet — reflect our shared desires, fears, and bodily urgencies. The spaces we inhabit are not merely plaster walls and glass windows; they are overlaid walls of unconscious architectures.
What would it be to forget? To awaken to life, unburdened by the past, before memory kicks in, to emerge out of time, from anesthesia or a deep sleep, into the blue skies of a summer day.”
In Out of Time, Rodrigo Red Sandoval and Groubnov explore the liminal space where memory intersects with infrastructure. Their works, both poetic and procedural, map the unconscious systems that tether us to place: water, gas, electricity and internet. These invisible networks surface as echoes of our fears, desires, and bodily urgencies.
Here, the built environment becomes a soft architecture of emotion and latency. Viewers enter a landscape where the past hums quietly beneath the surface, where forgetting is a brief rupture, a portal.
This exhibition invites us to emerge, momentarily, outside chronology, into a space where time is not linear but layered, unstable and alive.
