			On the occasion of the duo exhibition Timescapes, David Krippendorf and SunKwan Kwon present pieces which are related to a multidimensional treatment of time implied by the use of different media and by a different approach to the narrative, content and concept at the base of the conceivement of the works.

Both worlds of references are intertwined by immediate narratives together with meta- narratives, questioning themes such as injustice, identity, loss and sense of belonging, as in Krippendorf’s works, as well as the barriers between silence and awareness and photography as a way of healing personal wounds as in the pieces by SunKwan Kwon.

Timescapes is a moment fixed in time and simultaneously a continuum flow which develops through photography and video.

The exhibition title refers to a time-based idea: in physics it is a function of time that is dependent on the position of the observer: it relates the pieces of the two artists by affinity through the complexity and multi layered narrative of their artistic production but also by initiating a discourse which involves different positions and time lengths, approaches, experiences of the observer in front of the video works or before the photographic pieces.

On the occasion of the show the public is invited to move towards, observe, stand still, follow a narrative, immerse in a story. The two artists are offering a wide perspective of meanings and tales to be discovered; they tell them differently, nevertheless they profoundly address social issues, stories and accounts poetically yet strongly elaborated through their chosen media and deeply elaborated within their creative process.
