The exhibition derives its title and curatorial theme from a concept élan vital (vital impetus), a term coined by French philosopher Henri Bergson. Rather than simply adhering to a set of mechanistic laws, Bergson contended that life has an inherent drive or impulse toward creativity, growth, and innovation.
While his philosophy emphasizes the role of individual experience, i.e. consciousness, and creativity in this process, it also sees the 'self' as fundamentally connected to others. The 'self,' for Bergson, stands in dynamic relation to others. It is not static and unchanging but evolving constantly through its interactions with others.Moving within and between photographic genres, "Vital Impetus" explores this relationship between the creative self and its dynamic relationship with others. The works featured in this exhibition indicate some of the near infinite ways to communicate who one is and how we seek to connect — or not connect — with others.
