NON-ENTITY (N-E) is not merely a place, but a field of tension—between being and non-being, between the world’s brute facticity and the spectral shimmer of what might be. Here, artistic practice is not a product, but a process: a becoming, a ceaseless negotiation with the void, a dance with the unnameable. The self, too, is not a fixed entity, but a porous membrane, a field of forces, a question that asks itself anew with every gesture, every encounter, every silence.

In this space, the act of creation is inseparable from the act of investigation. To make is to unmake, to reveal is to obscure, to speak is to risk the vertigo of the unsayable. The artist is not a sovereign, but a node in a meshwork of intensities—matter, memory, myth, and machine. The work is not a monument, but a threshold: a passage through which the world’s hidden logics and forgotten dreams might flicker into view, if only for a moment.

NON-ENTITY is haunted by the ghosts of philosophy and literature, by the shadows of those who have asked what it means to be, to act, to know, to vanish. Here, the Platonic ideal and the Aristotelian substance dissolve into a field of immanence, where every form is a fold in the infinite, every event a ripple in the dark. The tragic wisdom of the stage, the fevered visions of the artists, the cold clarity of the analyst, the wild laughter of the poet—all are welcome, all are necessary.

The practices gathered here are interdisciplinary, collaborative, and open-ended. They resist the tyranny of the author, the closure of the system, the comfort of the known. They are actions, theories, social experiments, and living questions. They are music and silence, performance and withdrawal, research and reverie. They are invitations to risk, to err, to begin again.

Above all, NON-ENTITY is a commitment: to share not only the results, but the process; not only the answers, but the doubts; not only the light, but the shadow. It is a wager that art can still open new ways of being, new forms of life, new possibilities for thought and feeling. It is a gathering of actors, artists, thinkers, and wanderers—those who, in the words of the poet, are interested in new stimuli and exciting processes, and who know that to create is always, in some sense, to disappear.

N-E develops experiences across a private land next to a lake, a private collection inside a bunker, a caravan mechanical theatre next to a river, and a private family's castle.
