WAYS TO/finalfinalsession4

VENUE: Casino Display, 1, rue de la Loge

As part of their residency titled WAYS TO, Zohra Mrad opened the Casino Display space to the public for a number of events, including concerts, performances, interactive installations, and a unique collective exhibition. Now, they invite you to a final opening to share their artistic research on the ways that help us survive, remember, and transcend the violence of the world we live in.

For the opening of their exhibition WAYS TO/finalfinalsession4., Mrad presents What Holds, an exclusive interactive and immersive installation  created in collaboration with interdisciplinary artist L-corde (who uses rope as their main medium). It also features various prints and glass experiments inspired by Léa Valet’s illustrations, as well as a new version of their generative installation, developed with pluridisciplinary and tattoo artist Jana Kaulmann during WAYS TO/session1. 

About What Holds:

Some things hold us without ever asking to be seen.

What Holds. is an interactive and immersive installation that makes some of these invisible networks visible, felt and palpable. It questions the idea of support as something given or received. 

The piece is an invitation to share weight, tension, and energy.

Through a layered architecture, suspended chairs and a web of rope, it transforms into an environment meant to enter rather than be observed.

Every action travels through the structure.

Sound, light, and movement respond to the presence of each visitor, revealing a system in constant negotiation.  

What Holds offers embodied encounters to shed light on the countless interdependent relationships that sustain life.

It highlights support as an experience continuously created between bodies, organisms, materials, and time.

What becomes visible may have been there all along.
