Chiral Other

Chiral Other brings together artists whose practices explore juxtapositions, misalignments, and the porous boundaries between identity, space, and matter. Taking its title from the scientific concept of chirality – in which mirrored forms cannot be superimposed – the exhibition unfolds around difference as an intimate architecture. 



In a world of disparity, unity cannot be achieved through assimilation. Instead, this exhibition seeks affinity within irresolvable contrasts. Self definition arises from differentiation — we often explore and learn by contrasting qualities, expressions and markers of transitory identities. We redefine them when the context changes as the object transgresses itself with any shift in its environment. We reflect a universe built on layered relations, distorting it through our own prisms. The object and its reflection are not one and the same – they are chiral, unified not by sameness, but by their difference.

Artists: Ania Scarlet, Daria Fortunatov, Kateryna Yerkhova, Nadia Matveev, Nikita Rulev, Polina Hortovliuk, T Kushnarev / TKus, Ulviyya Iman, Věra Novotná, Yesui Onon
