At Kunsthalle Basel, sixteen artistic positions converge in a landscape marked by slow change: half-empty spaces, subtle shifts, and barely perceptible ruptures. The works share a muted intensity, the kind that lingers in backyards, waiting rooms, and late afternoons that stretch endlessly. In the background, a city seems to be collapsing in on itself. The streetlights hum. A dog barks once, then falls silent. Something always seems imminent, yet never seems to quite happen.

Under the title After the afternoon—a subtle shift in the course of the day—the works trace the textures of a place where habits take root, childhood fades, and change seeps in. What remains is a feeling: not quite melancholic, not quite surreal, just a little bit off.

Films, like extended afternoons, focusing on waiting and sidelong glances, expand the exhibition. Thus, After the Afternoon becomes a space that is not only viewed but actively experienced through film.
