COMPLEX SOCIETY: Imperfect Beauty

Soda Museum (Space of Design and Architecture) holds an exhibition during the first half of 2020. This exhibition focuses on humans’ negative emotions such as anxiety, solitude, depression, obsession, etc. The feature of this exhibition concerns the narratives and the works of contemporary artists in pursuit of philosophical contemplation on life, offering the opportunity for each individual to face his or her emotions, in peace, and find the road to a healthy life.

The focus of this exhibition is the narrative of imperfection within human minds that is not hidden. Works on the subject of uncomfortable emotions, such as solitude, deprivation, anxiety, etc., lead to an exploration of human ontological meaning. Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), a German philosopher, viewed anxiety not simply as a psychological state but as a characteristic of humans. This means that through the emotion of anxiety, humans can, ultimately, encounter true self, and discover the meaning of humans’ existence. Across all ages, despair, anxiety and distress caused by feelings of uncertainty follow humanity.

Do we need to understand and accept anxiety and deficiency in life? We’ll pursue methods for finding true life value by encountering imperfect self-image, in an atmosphere of peace. This will be a prelude to building a consciousness for human life.
