In an era where images are endlessly produced, reproduced, and consumed at speed, Tracing Traces considers how drawing and painting might be reimagined within a culture shaped by repetition. Rather than treating drawing as merely preparatory, each artist approaches it as a space where marks accumulate, shift, and remain deliberately unresolved — resisting closure and inviting ongoing engagement.

From early image-transfer techniques to the Camera Obscura, artists have long sought ways to fix an image. In Tracing Traces, such histories are unsettled: mechanical logics are slowed down, hidden materials are surfaced, and the act of reproduction itself becomes a subject.
