Time is commonly understood as something that moves from past to present and into the future. Physicist Carlo Rovelli, however, argues that what we call time is a complex, stratified concept, composed of different layers that emerge at different levels of physical and human experience. Rather than a single, universal flow, time can therefore be understood as something multiple and relational.

Strata (plural of the Latin stratum) describes layers formed through accumulation. In geology, each layer contains traces of processes that came before it, while remaining connected to those surrounding it. The geological stratum becomes a way of thinking about time materially: as something accumulated, embedded and continuously transformed.

At C.A.P. House, STRATA brings this idea of layering into the exhibition space through the works of artists Shuko Tanizawa (JP, b. 1999) and Therese Norgren (SE, b. 1992). Developed during two months at Moshouan Residency in Fukuchiyama, Japan, the works explore time and layering through sculpture, installation and painting, with urushi lacquer as a primary material.

「時間」とは一般的に、過去から現在へ、そして未来へと進んでいくものとして理解されています。しかし、理論物理学者のカルロ・ロヴェッリは、私たちが「時間」と呼んでいるものは、複雑で多層的な概念であり、物理的な経験の中でそれぞれ異なるレベルにおいて立ち現れる、さまざまな層によって構成されていると論じています。したがって時間は、単一で普遍的な流れではなく、複数的で関係的なものとして捉えることができます。

「Strata（積層）」とは、ラテン語の stratum（地層・層）の複数形であり、堆積によって形成される層を意味します。地質学において、それぞれの層には、それ以前に起こったプロセスの痕跡が刻まれている一方で、その周囲にある層との繋がりも保持しています。地質学的な「地層」は、時間を物質的に捉えるためのひとつの思考モデルとなります。すなわち、時間とは蓄積され、内包され、絶えず変容し続けるものとして捉えられるということです。

KOBE STUDIO Y3 では、アーティストの谷沢周子（日本、1999年生まれ）とテレーズ・ノーグレン（スウェーデン、1992年生まれ）による展覧会「STRATA-積層-」を開催します。本展では、この「層」という考え方を展示空間へと持ち込みます。日本・福知山の茂照庵レジデンシーで行われた2ヶ月間の滞在制作を通して生み出された作品は、彫刻、インスタレーション、絵画を用いながら、漆（うるし）を主要な素材として、時間と積層というテーマを探求しています。

It’s the last week to see ’Beyond the Measured Room’ with Therese Norgren & Jakub Michalak. Open until Friday, the 15th, at the gallery.

Beyond the Measured Room brings together the work of Therese Norgren and Jakub Michalak, artists who investigate the conditions in which space, objects, and perception exceed human control. Norgren works with architectural components that have been enlarged, cut, and fragmented, allowing them to escape their original function. Corners become autonomous forms; metric sticks and deliberately imprecise gömböc objects expose the limitations of measurement, revealing the subtle absurdity and fragility of human attempts to impose order. Michalak’s paintings extend these questions into the field of landscape. Rejecting fixed viewpoints and stable horizons, he presents space as a dynamic field of relations where matter, energy, and perception continuously intersect. Forms emerge and dissolve, traces accumulate, and the human is decentered within a network of non-human forces.
