“Beyond Somewhere” is a meditation on transcendence, where the intricate interplay of complexity, meaning, and abstraction meets silence and ambiguity.
This body of work reflects Sasan Nasernia’s ongoing exploration of his personal mapping of the concept of the “world as a language,” a central impetus behind his artistic practice and visual creations.
In his latest philosophical pursuit, Nasernia ventures into realms imbued with Platonic notions of ideas and objects, seeking to illuminate the core essence of a philosophy that gestures toward the ontological presence of higher dimensions beyond the bounds of visible reality.
At the heart of the exhibition is the installation titled “Transcendental Object at the End of Time”—a poetic interpretation of the “Omega Point,” a theory articulated by Teilhard de Chardin, who posited it as the ultimate culmination of existence: a singularity drawing all things into itself as the final phase of the universe. In Nasernia’s broader contemplation of the universe as a coded system, fragments of information coalesce around a central axis; trans-dimensional yet empty of any discernible content.
“Beyond Somewhere” invites reflection on phenomena beyond sense and memory; a form of “gnosis” that points toward transcendental yet imminent spaces, objects, and realms. It aspires to capture the dynamic tension between the “self” and the “other”.
