Exhibition: Me, Also Me
Me, Also Me considers how artists employ tropes of mirroring and repetition, anecdotes and alter egos, imitation and transformation to map the contours of uncannily labile selves.

The title of this exhibition, Me, Also Me is taken from the ‘Me: X Also me: Y’ meme widely circulated on social media. This meme is often used to humorously demonstrate the multiple realities people live in, the contradictory elements of life, and to perhaps release tension around the need to take unitary positions.
Through works that embrace a similar logic, Me, Also Me considers how artists employ tropes of mirroring and repetition, anecdotes and alter egos, imitation and transformation to map the contours of uncannily labile selves.
The videos Delivery Dancer’s Sphere, 2022, by Ayoung Kim and Invisible Touch, 2024, by Daisuke Kosugi delve into personal and political questions about the boundaries between reality and fiction. By focusing on moments and sensations of uncertainty and ambiguity they reveal how accounts and experiences of specific situations can either diverge or remain unclear.
