The exhibition-essay Hesitation Marks presents six contemporary artists' exploration of paralinguistic phenomena - stutters, verbal slips, laughter, and speech spasms - reconceived as language's unconscious punctuation.
These phenomena extend into physical interaction with space. The scenography intentionally complicates movement: visitors must actively discover works through physical encounters, heightening their bodily awareness. Empty spaces and barriers function as physical interruptions, transforming art perception into a fully embodied experience.
This approach replaces passive observation with engaged participation—where visitors' movements complete the artwork itself.
