OPEN CALL | Verifying Identity... Please Log In
We tried to reset the password. The system replied: The new one cannot be the old one. Identity works similarly. It is never a fixed code to recover, but a process of failed entries, revisions, and unfinished logins. What once felt awkward or embarrassing was not a mistake, but an early attempt to be seen and to take shape in the world.
When such expressions were dismissed, they often became hidden or left unresolved. Nostalgia may prompt us to look back, yet the point is not to restore what has passed. Instead, these fragments reveal that identity is never final, always provisional, and in a state of constant transition.
This exhibition invites works that revisit what was overlooked, denied, or unfinished. The interest lies not in sentimentality, but in how unacknowledged selves might return, reconfigure, and find form again in the present.
“Please wait” is not a pause, but a threshold. The unfinished login opens the possibility for new forms of identity to appear.
