Still Soaking

Rundgang 2025

Everything is wet.

The moss, the bark, our fingertips.

Mist clings to the trees like breath not yet exhaled.

We move slowly, parting ferns with our hands, listening for the hush that

follows a storm.

The trail has disappeared—swallowed by puddles, softened into memory.

And we don’t mind.

Some paths return only when the ground

is still soaking,

and the world forgets its shape

just long enough

to show us another way.

The works gathered here form an assemblage of embodied stories—

memories carried not only by us, but by those who came before and those

yet to arrive. In dialogue with the textured terrains they traverse, the artists

in this exhibition engage structural rupture and tune into other frequencies—

channeling gestures of disappearance and resistance. Their practices

approach transition, displacement, and fragmentation as conditions of

transformation, rather than loss.

Unfinished gestures—or those suspended in flux—interrupt linear time,

making space for disruption and upheaval as modes of survival. Themes

of ancestry, ecology, memory, and violence are explored through multiple

experiences, where radical imagination emerges from difference to build

collective unity. Drops fall, gathering into an ocean.

Still Soaking

8

Like humidity rising from uneven ground, the works here condense what

refuses to settle: dissonant rhythms, displaced emotions, inherited fractures.

Nothing here seeks resolution. Instead, the air thickens with what has been

carried, sweated out, absorbed again—stories, wounds, dreams. In this

saturation, transition becomes a dense, political, and intimate climate.

This is a space of refusal and remembrance, of grief and care. And it is also

an offering—where ritual becomes threshold, and celebration opens the

possibility of healing, relief, and relation.
