Unstable Bodies brings together four artists who approach the body from different perspectives: the internal body, the social body, the abstract body, and the collective body. Through painting, photography, and installation, the exhibition explores how bodies fluctuate between stability and collapse, visibility and disappearance, individuality and interdependence. Instead of treating the body as a fixed form, the exhibition frames it as a dynamic field—a shifting balance of material, emotional, spatial, and conceptual forces. Each artist contributes a distinct vocabulary, while the exhibition as a whole reflects on the fragility of embodiment: the body as something porous, reactive, relational, and constantly transformed by both internal and external pressures. By placing these four frameworks together, Unstable Bodies becomes an environment in which the viewer encounters the body not as a single narrative, but as a constellation of states—an unstable system that must constantly renegotiate itself.
