JOSHUA SERAFIN

In this space, the wound is not a static object for observation but an atmospheric presence, an entity waiting to enter a shared vibration with the bodies that encounter it.

Grieve the Departed Wound is a performative milieu where the boundary between spectator and performer dissolves. Within this environment of movement making and memory-retrieval, visitors are invited to drift through the physical and conceptual debris of performance, becoming part of the entanglement they witness.

Through a lens of liminality, the exhibition seeks a rhythmic relationship between the scenography of Serafin’s two projects: Cosmological Gangbang and Lost Ancestors. Using the material agency of reconstructed installations, videos, and paintings infused with the artist’s physical traces and past performances, the gallery is transformed into a vessel. It reconfigures darkness, stillness, body, and time, turning objects into witnesses.

In this wound, an atmospheric presence. Please rest, muse, feel. This work is a portal inviting you to inhabit it.
