Slow Manifesto

In the contemporary era, the manipulation of desire is driven by constant social pressures, turning it into a mechanism of control that fuels consumption. Desire is no longer authentic — it is suggested, packaged, administered. The exhibition explores our capacity to question the very meaning of desire and how it might be liberated from external superstructures.

Through video art, painting, publications and installations, the artists engage with themes of waiting and possibility, rather than immediate gratification or the end object of desire. Revealing and deconstructing the languages of advertising, politics, and technology, exposing their contradictions by breaking apart their codes. In a world oversaturated with stimuli, the exhibition invites visitors to slow down and reflect — a revolutionary gesture that resists external conditioning and reclaims the right to cultivate an authentic, self-directed desire.
