Tereza Stehlikova @ absolute now II

‘Eternity does not exist anywhere but in changing time. Eternity is the absolute now.’ — D.T. Suzuki, Time and Eternity (1956) About Rieko Akatsuka - George Barber - Kaz - Guy Sherwin - Tereza Stehlikova For the 10th anniversary of absolute now —a group exhibition originally held in Tokyo—five artists return to explore the enduring paradox of time: the coexistence of the fixed and the fluid, the eternal and the ever-changing. Among the new works presented, Czech artist Tereza Stehlikova contributes a video installation that expands on her long-term project 4 Generations of Women (2012–). Her piece immerses viewers in a layered reality where personal, familial, and more-than-human identities converge. Through the poetic use of moving image, Stehlíková explores how selfhood is entangled with ancestry, descendants, and the natural world — revealing a timeless quality within the rhythms of change. Boundaries dissolve: between mother and daughter, self and other, human and non-human, past and future — yet something essential endures in the very act of being present. As with the other participating artists, Stehlikova uses the language of the moving image — a medium built from stillness in motion — to question what ‘absolute now’ means in a socio-political context transformed over the past decade. The exhibition reflects on how we inhabit the present in a time when truth feels increasingly unstable and digital technologies offer continual escape from the here and now. The exhibition is curated by Kaz and will include a curated programme of events. For further information, please contact danielle@daniellearnaud.com . The gallery is open by appointment only.
