ontology of the almost

Exhibition coming up 2026


“Potentiality is that which can be both being and non-being, that which always preserves within itself its own possibility.”

—Giorgio Agamben

At the center of these images lies a concern for potentiality—the state of things before they become what they are destined to be. The photographs trace surfaces, materials, and gestures that seem caught halfway through formation: folds of fabric before they settle, walls whose paint begins to peel, structures where fragility and solidity coexist. These moments speak less of completion than of beginning, of a becoming suspended in tension.

In modern times, dominated by issues of ecological precariousness, technological acceleration, and social fragmentation, the language of potentiality becomes urgent. To see the world not as something fixed but as a continuous unfolding means opening ourselves to alternative futures. A frayed net, a changing field of grass, or the edge of metal catching the light are not mere objects—they are thresholds, invitations to imagine what might emerge from instability, fragility, or resistance.

Rather than emphasizing placement or displacement, this work focuses on the sensation of movement before motion, on the murmur of change before it materializes. In this way, the images ask us to consider: What futures can be sensed before they become visible? What possibilities live in the fabric of the present, in the cracks and folds that seem minor yet hold within them the force of transformation?

These photographs proposes that potentiality is not abstract—it is inscribed in the surfaces we overlook, in the silent moments where form is not yet decided. It is in these spaces that we can perceive the beginnings of new vocabularies of living, of relating, and of imagining together.
