As children, the carousel brings us joy, excitement, and wonder, but as we grow up, it becomes an object that triggers nausea, dizziness, a sense of losing control and disorientation. What is it about the carousel that holds such an extreme range of experiences? In a world based on narratives and linear progress, the circular movement offers another possibility. One that is not measured in terms of achievement, progress, or output, but rather in a repetitive motion examined in duration, perseverance, speed, and return to a familiar spot. The exhibition features works that address the circular aspect of the physical space, the circle of life, and the human mental experience.
