AOD (Art of
Dalim) Museum presents a special exhibition 《The
Collapse Manual Ep.02》 on view through March 17.
This exhibition is the second in a series
conceived under the title “The Collapse Manual,” proposing a perspective that
looks beyond the end toward what comes after collapse.

While the preceding exhibition depicted
landscapes after collapse, the present exhibition imagines forms of existence
that may newly emerge from the ruins. Even atop what appears to be total
destruction, unexpected vitality and transformation are detected, where what
will take root after the ruins overlaps with the possibilities of generations
extending from the past into the future.
Tracing subtle signs of change that prompt
us to imagine futures we have yet to witness, the exhibition opens onto
alternative possibilities beyond collapse.

The participating artists summon and layer
pre-existing forms, organizing an as-yet-unfixed order of images in the
interstices between them. Here, collapse operates not as rupture or loss, but
as a latent force that enables images to enter into relations and acquire
meaning.
Rather than restoring the past, the artists
seek subsequent possibilities within the conditions of collapse destined to
repeat. By grasping phenomena we have passed by and repositioning them on a
different temporal plane, they prompt us to sense the present anew from the
vantage point of the future.
