Memory & Punishment emerges from a simple observation: there are remarkably few spaces in contemporary life that offer a place where challenging recollections may simply be inhabited rather than summarily resolved. Bearing semblance to a garden, Memory & Punishment is caught in the process of metamorphosis between what is natural and alien. Droning sounds and an undulating purple floor fill the space, while bodies fitted with contact mics traverse it, feeding into its acoustic ecology. Conceived as a social environment beyond home and work, the installation invites the visitor to linger, listen, and eventually be engulfed.

The show is co-curated by Aaditya Sathish, and Tobias Berger.
Artist and musician Janice Laujan says, “The exhibition’s invitation is one of companionship, an opportunity to enter the darker and less accessible regions of one's psyche without fear of judgement, explanation, or resolution. There aren't many places in this city where you're allowed to just be with something difficult—no fixing it, no moving on from it. I wanted to build a room freed from polite boundaries that could hold that instead.”
