Mesh

Mesh marks the second chapter of an interactive exhibition developed by Kilos. The first exhibition, Excerpts, took place in the exhibition room of The Passenger in July 2025. Through direct public interaction, Kilos used Excerpts to recreate the experience of street art — the creative impulse and the ephemerality of what can exist only for brief moments. With Mesh, Kilos explores the ongoing influence of what surrounds us and how it surfaces in art.

According to phenomenology, everything we are as human beings is merely a product of what we see, receive, and interact with, even without realizing it. These experiences that build and define us are numerous, expansive, yet also limited. In this sense, Kilos uses the existing reference from the previous exhibition, Excerpts, to create something new — not through new foundations, but through a renewed engagement with the same ones. By allowing himself to be influenced by the audience’s gaze upon his exhibition, it gains a new meaning even for the artist himself. A new combination of materials, overlays, and tears emerges — elements that had remained hidden until now. Here, new individualities are born in each piece — that is, new unique and imaginative meshes of what was already there, unseen. It is a tribute to the influence that others have on us in a necessarily communal world — one in which our surroundings are inscribed in each of our experiences and help to shape each future experience. After all, art does not belong solely to the artist; it belongs to everyone who sees it through a different context.
