FLIP

A decade has passed. In the continuous passage of time, traces of the past never truly disappear but rather randomly seep into each present moment, shaping every coincidence and encounter ahead.

This exhibition, using “flip” as its central theme, employs books from past exhibitions and related design objects as media to redefine these content-rich artifacts. Through visitors’ interventions—such as flipping, reading, examining, and tactile exploration—they are re-experienced and given new meanings. As Mexican conceptual artist Ulises Carrión states, “A book is a sequence of spaces.” When visitors navigate the exhibition and flip through the pages, they perform a physical act, creating a multilayered realm that interweaves materiality, perception, time, and culture.

The concept of “flip” applies not only to books but also to featured artworks, object designs, culinary experiences, and even to different corners of the museum. Even when the process includes brief pauses or gaps, we still engage with it physically, experience it firsthand, and unveil a new landscape of our encounter.
