Grieve the Departed Wound by Joshua Serafin

The wound does not merely scar... It drifts, whispers, and lingers. In this space, the wound is not a static subject 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.
