Channeling the Ancient Greek concept of metanoia — as a radical transformation of thought — this project seeks to create a dialogue among practices, entities, concepts, and perspectives that are distinct and often paradoxical to trace connections or tensions between them while speculatively reimagining new ways of engaging with the world. Nomadic by nature, the Metanoia project brings together people from diverse backgrounds to shape a dynamic program of exhibitions, conversations, screenings, and periodic publications.

The show at Frappant Gallery in Hamburg marks the project’s second edition, following its debut at Cité des Arts in Paris in 2023. It continues to explore core themes of Metanoia, such as death, finitude, extinction, the decay of history, regeneration, cosmological and earthly systems, and the passage of time in its speculative dimensions. This edition now expands the inquiry by examining the layered meanings of "remains" — including mortal remnants, ruins, residues, excesses, relics, and enduring traces that resonate across the past, present, and future.
