			Against Resilience revisits the temporal structures that shape our daily lives. The exhibition examines how a society organized around speed and efficiency influences personal recovery, grief, and relationships. Each work reflects on the pressures and conflicts embedded in everyday life, revealing the norms that govern how we spend, manage, and value our hours. Through these works, the exhibition invites viewers to imagine other possible temporalities and relations.


Waiting, Video Installation, Queue Ticket Printer, Monitor, Video  3 min, 2025

On the waiting-screen, two different forms of waiting appear. One is the familiar wait for one’s number to be called; the other is the unresolved, suspended time of everyday life, in which nothing actually moves forward. One form is socially accepted as an institutional norm, while the other remains a kind of time we are rarely allowed to “wait through.”


Busy?, Four-channel Video Installation: Smartphone, Video, Color, 12 sec each, 2025

 
The everyday phrase “Are you busy?” repeats in multiple variations, synced to a beat. Though the words are identical, their nuance shifts—becoming a neutral inquiry, a language of surveillance, or an internalized norm. These tonal differences expose the subtle workings of temporal power in daily life and reveal how we ask for, interpret, and negotiate each other’s time.


Time Within Relationships, Single-channel Video, Color, 15 min 31 sec, 2025

Time Within Relationships assembles sentences drawn from multiple interviews to reveal how notions such as efficiency, care, achievement, and responsibility collide—or at times undermine and support one another—within relational time. Early in the process, the artist understood “work/care” as a binary framework, but as the interviews progressed, this dichotomy was gradually reshaped by the interviewees’ complex lived experiences.


The Grief Plan, Web-based Postal Service, Variable Dimensions, 2025

The Grief Plan is a web-based postal service that offers seven subscription plans modeled after standardized mourning periods. Viewers select and pay for the plan that seems appropriate for their situation, but the system sends the mail at an unannounced moment within the subscription period. This delayed or premature delivery reveals how the temporality of loss resists linearity and regularity, disrupting the productivity-oriented rhythms of everyday time.
