PERFECT SYSTEM
A Space Gallery
About the Open Call
We all play the part. We show up, composed and precise, masking the chaos underneath. We live in a world where stability is just a high-priced illusion, and the endless demand for order has turned "restraint" into a luxury. Beneath this surface of control lies a constant tension: a repetitive negotiation required to keep ourselves together against the chaos around us. In an environment filled with overstimulation, maintaining order is no longer just a routine. It becomes a critical psychological boundary. “PERFECT SYSTEM” explores the subtle "traces" and "residue" left behind in this daily struggle for balance. We are looking for works in video, sculpture, and multidisciplinary practices that show this exact friction. We want to see an outward calm, defined by precision and clean surfaces, that hides an intense emotional labor underneath. Perfection is not a static state, but a fragile, ongoing performance. Through cycles of erasure and reconstruction, this project reveals the invisible labor required to look composed in a volatile world.
