Kay Walkowiak's 'All Is But Temporary' at Clervaux – Cité de l'image

The exhibition 'All Is But Temporary' at Clervaux – Cité de l'image presents a series of photographs by Kay Walkowiak exploring transience, transformation, and the human longing for permanence. The works span locations from Japan to India and Europe, examining how culture, form, and matter are subject to time's irreversibility. In the series 'Ephemera' (2008), created in Tokyo, Walkowiak engages the Japanese concept of 'mono no aware'—the awareness of transience—through quiet arrangements of a bandaged branch, a weighted butterfly, and wilted flowers, where beauty and loss converge.
