Ways To/finalfinalsession4

Show & Culture

As part of the WAYS TO residency, Zohra Mrad opened the Casino Display space to the public through a series of proposals including concerts, performances, interactive installations, and a unique group exhibition. Now, Zohra Mrad invites the public for a final moment to share her artistic research around the possibilities of surviving, remembering, and transcending the violence of the world in which we live. For the opening of WAYS TO/finalfinalsession4, Zohra Mrad presents What Holds, an exclusive interactive and immersive installation created with L-corde, an interdisciplinary artist whose main medium is rope. The exhibition also brings together prints and glass experiments inspired by the illustration work of Léa Valet, as well as a new version of the generative installation developed during WAYS TO/session1, in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist and tattooist Jana Kaulmann. About What Holds: Some things support us without ever seeking to be seen. What Holds is an interactive and immersive installation that makes some of these invisible networks visible, tangible, and audible. It questions the notion of support as something that can be given or received. The work is an invitation to share weight, tension, and energy. Through a layered architecture, suspended chairs, and a network of ropes, it becomes an environment to inhabit rather than simply observe. Each action propagates through the structure. Sound, light, and movement react to the presence of each visitor, revealing a system in perpetual negotiation. What Holds offers embodied experiences that highlight the countless relationships of interdependence that sustain life. The installation presents every form of support as an experience continually created between bodies, organisms, materials, and time. What becomes visible may have always been there.
