These Corners Could be Other Corners, 2025
These Corners Could Be Other Corners is a reflection on edges, corners, intersections, limits, and borders. These are not empty geometries but also places of encounter. In West Central African traditions, corners can represent crossroads within a spiritual context. In Kongo cosmology, the crossroads mark the interaction between the world of the living and the world of the dead, a threshold where communication becomes possible.
At the same time, spaces are actively constructed, shaped by impulses of definition, fixation, and control. Limits and borders are sites of both violence and possibility, not only physical boundaries but also metaphorical spaces. Embodying intersections as possibilities becomes central to this work. Like The Aleph, Jorge Luis Borges’s short story, it reveals the infinite at a single point, collapsing time and space into a single, simultaneous vision. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle at once. In this exhibition, the corner and the intersection each carry the potential to hold more than one world simultaneously, embodying both limit and possibility.
