This exhibition situates the creative perspectives of eight artists within the same time and space. Through photography, installation, and video projection, it explores the texture of time, the traces of memory, and the ways in which images become channels connecting the past and the future.

From its origins as a technical means of preserving visual information to becoming one of the key media in contemporary art, the image has remained central to artistic practice. Whether through documentary photography, fictional scenarios and narratives, absurdist films, or abstract renderings of the microscopic world and reflections on life, artists have consistently employed the image as a medium for social observation, explorations of existence, and the preservation of collective experiences and memories of an era.

As photography and video have undergone successive technological iterations—ranging from the anxious anticipation of the darkroom, to the immediacy of digital rendering and revision, and now to the practical application of AI—image-making has undoubtedly become one of the most powerful tools for probing the truth of destiny.

The truth of life and the essence of the world, like light and time themselves, are always in the process of deferred revelation. When viewers encounter within the works the reflections and attitudes of human beings toward life, society, and ecology, the artists not only complete a slice of present reality, but also become figures capable of deconstructing time and space, sending messages forward into the future.
