The Uncanny (2021–2022)
December 15, 2021–February 15, 2022
The Uncanny examines the unease that arises when the familiar becomes subtly wrong. Drawing on Freud’s concept of the unheimlich and the “uncanny valley” of near-human likeness, these works cross the boundary between recognition and estrangement, asking how an image can elicit a visceral reaction without fully revealing why.
