When the Mountains Speak Through Empty Swirls (I), 2025, Giclée print on lustre paper, Edition of 4 + 1 Artist’s Proof + 1 Exhibition Print, H75 x W100 cm
White Clouds by Sebastian Mary Tay proffers a set of propositions on the culture of contemporary imaging as a possible condition for ontological disclosure, rather than a mere aesthetic phenomenon. Images, whether they be photographic, computational, cinematic, or vernacular, now operate within digital circuits and platform infrastructures that privilege dissemination, prediction and redundancy. Under such conditions, the image is tasked less with revealing a world than with performing a function within a system. The works in this exhibition test how such operability bears upon worldhood, attention, and time, as well as questions the kinds of practice that could reconfigure these conditions without recourse to medium nostalgia or anti-technological moralism.
