The Absolute Factory

The concept of the massive apocalyptic work combines a scientific approach with a sense of absurdity and black humour.

21g Contemporary Art Exhibition
Human exploration of the essence of the spirit and soul has never ceased. From Platoâs theory of forms to Hegelâs phenomenology of spirit, philosophers have continually sought to deconstruct the duality of spirit and matter. In 1907, Duncan MacDougallâs â21 Grams Experiment,â though not recognized by the scientific community, breathed new life into this age-old question, provoking deep reflections on the materialization of the spirit.
This exhibition, titled â21 Grams,â does not aim to verify the physical existence of the soul but uses this metaphor to explore the complex relationship between spirit and matter in a contemporary context. The participating artists employ diverse mediaâvideo, installation, performance, and photographyâto offer unique interpretations of this theme, creating a dialogue space that blends philosophy, science, and art.
