Eszter Sziksz: Seeking, I Don’t Know What I’m Looking For (And I Hope I Never Find It)
October 18, 2026–April 4, 2027
What remains when everything we thought was important suddenly shifts? Award-winning and internationally exhibited artist Eszter Sziksz invites visitors to meander through, examine, and consider open-ended questions from some of the world’s greatest minds in Seeking, a new immersive and interactive installation. In a stark display, long sheets of semi-translucent wax paper hang from the gallery ceiling. At the base of each, inquiries inspired by the musings of philosophers like Plato, Derrida, Camus, and Heidegger are pressed into the fragile paper through inkless embossing. Using magnifying glasses hung throughout the space, visitors must lean in and look closely to reveal their latent messages. Seeking does not provide answers. Instead, it searches for better questions.
