Solo exhibition

New People explores the desire to become someone else.

Borrowing visual and emotional languages from self-improvement culture, amateur performance, advertising, therapeutic speech and collective ritual, the exhibition constructs a space populated by unstable identities and projected forms of transformation.

Throughout the works, bodies rehearse new versions of themselves without ever fully stabilising. Speech oscillates between confession, instruction and fiction; gestures appear simultaneously sincere and theatrical.

Rather than presenting transformation as liberation, New People approaches it as a condition of permanent adaptation — a continuous negotiation between exposure, performance and belonging.

The exhibition unfolds as an ambiguous social environment: part support group, part rehearsal space, part speculative community.

Visitors encounter characters, voices and situations suspended between vulnerability and simulation, intimacy and spectacle.
