The exhibition Para Figurations (reconfigurations of reality) hopes to bring about a recognition that our awarenesses may be overutilized and in need of reevaluation as they relate to conscious developments of the present reality. The exhibition is a place where questions have been opened up about diverse representations of lifeforms, how our spaces of living and creating meaning are transforming due to modern technology, and the hierarchies of visibility that affect our bodies and voices in various spatial realities. It focuses on changing subjectivity as a state of social consicousness and proposes a framework of thinking that is removed or unattached to material and form. Parafigurations hopes to unveil our perceptions concerning natural lifeforms, including bodies represented as images and structures, and voice represented with sound and space.
