Translating an Art Exhibition Title

Dear Teachers,

Would you please help me check the following translations of an art exhibition which is philosophically titled?

Are the four options grammatically correct and rhetorically preferable?

  1. Non-daily Representation of the Daily
  2. Representation of the Non-daily from the Daily
  3. The Non-daily Representing the Daily
  4. The Non-daily Representation in Daily

For Case D, I’m wondering if the word “daily” could serve as an uncountable noun. If not, shall I have “in Daily Life” or “in the Daily” instead?
Besides, what’s the difference of the three prepositions in this case: Representation of/ in/ from the Daily?

The last, since the word “representation” could serve as an uncountable noun, does it make any difference if I delete its article?
I do look forward to your help! Many thanks in advance!
