The quiet patterns and unnoticed rhythms of everyday life

In every minute of every day, Mimi Kunz invites us into a space where time is no longer a neutral framework but a material—elastic, intimate, and quietly insistent. Her work lingers in the unnoticed intervals that structure our lives: the repetition of gestures, the persistence of memory, the subtle shifts that occur beneath the surface of routine.

A quiet, minimalist sensitivity – the invisible rhythms of time as a series of fleeting, subtle instants.

Mimi Kunz approaches these moments with a sensitivity that resists spectacle in minimalist gestures, with a calm consistency.She draws attention to what is often overlooked—the almost invisible rhythms that accumulate into experience. Through a practice that moves between presence and absence, her works seem to hold time still while simultaneously letting it slip away. Each piece operates like a fragment, a trace, or a residue, suggesting that what we perceive as continuous is in fact composed of countless subtle instants.

The exhibition unfolds as a constellation rather than a linear narrative. Viewers are not guided through a fixed sequence but are instead encouraged to navigate freely, assembling their own temporal pathways. In this way, every minute of every day becomes both a reflection on duration and an enactment of it: a space where attention slows, expands, and recalibrates.

At its core, Kunz’s work asks a simple, profound question: what does it mean to truly inhabit time? By foregrounding the ordinary and the ephemeral, she reveals the density of the present moment—its capacity to hold memory, anticipation, and transformation all at once.

This exhibition does not demand urgency. It asks for presence. And in doing so, it gently reminds us that every minute, indeed every day, carries within it the possibility of being seen anew.

An invitation to pause, and discover the extraordinary hidden within the flow of every minute of every day.

Bio

Mimi Kunz is an artist poet who captures liveliness with ink and paper. ‘Put the mind in the body’ a Buddhist monk once told her – advice which shaped her life and art.

She studied Graphics and Painting at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, Germany, where she received an Academy Award and a project scholarship. Her work grew in collaborations with dancers, walking and textile artists, was shaped by residencies in Europe (Common Grounds, Scotland, 2017, Moving Landscapes, Italy, 2023) and Vietnam (Live.Make.Share, 2018, Time& Realities, 2021). It has been exhibited in Brussels (Maison d’Art Actuel des Chartreux, ODRADEK) and internationally (Casa del Arte, Concepción, Chile, Nature Art Biennale, South Korea), supported by the Goethe Institut Hanoi and the European Union, and can be found in private and museum collections.

Living in Brussels with her young family, Mimi lets her life and work merge and inspire each other. This might mean that a child will crawl on stage while she’s reading her poetry.
