In The Bag
Ben Tupas
January 8 โ February 19, 2026
In The Bag explores the experience of relocation through video projection. The distinctive chequered pattern of mass-produced storage bags becomes a frame where landscapes, objects, and human figures drift and merge. Between departure and arrival, this moving imagery reflects the uncertain journey of leaving one place for another.
