"Through the keyhole of the twenty-first century, what was considered taboo is turned upside down and the 'closed doors' have been opened, for better and worse. The voyeur becomes the voyeured; the object claims a subject position back; and the right to an intimate domestic life freed from surveillance technologies becomes an ever more urgent concern. What is privacy and where are its boundaries? How to show intimacy? What should or should not be shown, and why?
Through the Keyhole is a group exhibition featuring video and audio works, photographs and documentary productions from seventeen artists, all created between 1999 and 2025, which turn the audiovisual gaze upon the creators' own everyday situations and encounters in order to interrogate these questions. The exhibition expands upon an initial curatorial presentation realised by Jolanta Woszczenko at the LAZNIA Center for Contemporary Art in Gdansk, Poland. In Rotterdam, Woszczenko has been joined by co-curators Megan Hoetger and Weronika Zielińska; together, they bring a selection of works from the first iteration of the show into conversation with works by artists from a range of cultural contexts and diasporic lines of flight between the Netherlands, Poland, and other parts of Europe.
In constellating these practices, Through the Keyhole offers a reflection on convergent
and divergent understandings and embodiments of privacy, intimacy, closeness, and
personal memory, as well as intergenerational (familial) dialogue, diasporic experience,
and the affective dimensions of collective histories. Across the works on display, visitors
are invited to take a closer look at how interpersonal relationships and ways of creating
memories are being formed and negotiated under the terms of today's telecommunications-driven cultures.
The participating artists are:
Chupan Atashi, Kirila Cvetkovska & Vera Zalutskaya, Witosław Czerwonka, Małgosia Goliszewska, Andrea Éva Győri, Marta Hryniuk & Nick Thomas, Michał Kucharski, Honorata Martin, Sands Murray-Wassink, Józef Robakowski, Daniel Rumiancew, Selma Selman, Ania Witkowska, Zorka Wollny, Wojciech Zamiara"
