โWe declare that personal freedom and autonomy is both a right and good, but we think anyone who exercises that freedom autonomously is โsad, mad or badโ. Or all three at once.โ

๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ challenges the binary between two intertwined yet opposing conditionsโ loneliness and solitude. Being alone or / and being lonely. It seeks, both in the extremes and in the middle, a speculative space for revaluation, connection, or reconnection, as well as a possibility to rethink and recalibrate what we understand by autonomyโacknowledging its traps but also its necessity.
Loneliness is not a monolithic experienceโit is dynamic, evolving, multifaceted, and constantly shaped by contexts, whether general, external, independent, distant, or individual, intimate, internal, and self-generated.
Relying on the generosity and pervasiveness of the subject, the curatorial approach strains forms and expressions of loneliness, emerging in spatial, domestic, or communal structuresโdisjointed, fragmented, irreparable, or, on the contrary, harmonious, induced, applied, cultivated, and necessary.
Ultimately, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ explores ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ as a space of tension, transformation, and, ultimately, choice.

๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ provoacฤ binaritatea dintre douฤ condiศii รฎnfrฤศite, dar opozabile, โsingurareaโ ศi รฎnsingurarea. Singurฤtate ศi/sau solitudine. Se cautฤ, atรขt รฎn extreme, cรขt ศi รฎn mijloc, un spaศiu speculativ, al revalorizฤrii, al conexiunii sau al reconectฤrii, dar ศi o posibilitate de a regรขndi, de a recalibra ceea ce รฎnศelegem prin autonomie, admiศรขndu-i capcanele, dar ศi necesitatea.
Singurฤtatea nu este o experienศฤ monoliticฤ โ ci una dinamicฤ, evolutivฤ, multifaศetatฤ, constant modelatฤ de contexte โ fie ele generale, exterioare, independente, รฎndepฤrtate, fie individuale, intime, interne, auto-generate.
