Magical Everyday: Fissures of Reality and the Reconstruction of Objecthood explores the subtle shifts in reality caused by rapid image circulation and digital mediation. The “magical” is not fantasy, but the reconstruction of the everyday when familiar memories and values become unstable. Through painting, sculpture, and installation, artists transform historical fragments and daily objects to reveal how meanings shift across contexts. As the world we take for granted grows unfamiliar, looking anew becomes a way to reimagine contemporary life.
