de-compass is a group exhibition that delves into the disorientation and alienation experienced within modern urban landscapes. In a world where societies are increasingly regulated and surveilled, individuals often find themselves lost amidst the bustling metropolis, navigating through cities prioritising vehicular convenience over human connection. Through a curated selection of artworks, de-compass exposes the complexities of contemporary urban life, where perceptions of others are shaped not by personal interactions but by media portrayals and digital algorithms. The projects explore the concept of direction and control, prompting viewers to reflect on their position within complex urban settings and consider how societal structures influence personal autonomy and identity.
