Tropic of Perception explores the shifting nature of perception—how environments, histories, and sensorial experiences shape the way we see and understand the world. The exhibition considers how states of flux, transition, and transformation impact memory, identity, and knowledge production. Through a variety of media, the artists in this exhibition engage with questions of materiality, temporality, and the slippages between the real and the imagined. 

The title suggests a geography not of place, but of thought—a mental and emotional terrain where perception is altered, destabilized, and reconfigured. This exhibition unfolds as a space where material and immaterial forces collide, generating new ways of seeing and understanding. It invites visitors to interrogate their own perceptual processes and the conditions that shape them. How do cultural narratives, environmental conditions, and embodied experiences mediate what we see and how we make meaning? In an age of rapid change—whether technological, ecological, or sociopolitical—the exhibition poses perception itself as a site of negotiation, where reality is fluid, constructed, and open to revision. 

Bringing together artists who work across different registers of materiality, temporality, and mediated experience, Tropic of Perception blurs boundaries between presence and absence, visibility and obscurity, certainty and ambiguity. It considers perception as a dynamic, ever-evolving landscape—one that is not fixed but in constant motion, where meaning is formed in the act of seeing and re-seeing.
