Long Distance

The exhibition Long Distance focused on the movements of individuals, who are seen walking, wandering around, swimming, and skating, while physically or mentally crossing spaces and covering distances, immersing in water, and observing urban and rural landscapes. Such contemplative activities of a single body invite philosophical, spiritual, and historical interpretations. The exhibition included video works by five artists: Francis Alÿs (Belgium), Hilla Ben Ari (Israel), Sebastián Díaz Morales (Argentina), Tao Hui (China), and Vladimir Nikolić (Serbia). In 2022, Alÿs and Nikolić represented their countries of origin at the 59th Venice Biennale; Ben Ari’s one-person exhibition was held at the Ticho House, Jerusalem; Díaz Morales participated in Documenta Fifteen, Kassel; and Hui’s video premiered at the Frieze Art Fair, Seoul.
