About the exhibition

In Never Arrive, Cem Hasimi explores the feeling of moving through worlds that never quite settle. His recurring figure walks through spaces that seem familiar yet constantly shift, as if reality keeps refreshing before it can become real. The light is too calm, the grass glows too evenly, and everything feels like a memory that a machine is still trying to remember.

He builds worlds that mirror how we exist now: always in motion, always becoming. For him, meaning doesn’t sit at the destination but moves quietly within the process. To arrive would mean the end of discovery, and he has never found beauty in endings.

The landscapes begin as digital paintings created with Midjourney, reshaped into motion and blended with frame-by-frame animation of his recurring characters. It is a collaboration between intuition and algorithm, a conversation between what he imagines and what the machine misremembers.
