ALL THINGS DIGESTING by the artist duo sikau/pubalova approaches the exhibition as an interactive playground for the senses – sight, smell, hearing, and above all touch. The title of the exhibition refers to the process of digestion, and the installations develop this motif of absorption, interconnecting both the themes and the bacteria that we encounter in everyday life, from microbial pathways to changing ecosystems. All six works invite an open, playful reading; their boundaries are soft and porous. Porosity is a digestive principle – permeable membranes allow the exchange of substances, fluids, and signals, through which the foreign becomes a part of us. In the same way, the works’ porous boundaries let impressions and stories be absorbed and transformed, growing into shared experience. This approach can also act as a form of care – leading from sensation to soothing, from sharing to well-being (a sense of mental and physical ease and balance). It creates a time and space to absorb ideas, scents, and textures. The spatial, sonic, and haptic gestures of the individual installations comprise a whole that breathes at its own pace and creates a flowing rhythm wafting through the space. Sound recordings of metabolism and fermentation lend the exhibition its tempo. These small events (the bubbling of viscera, the fermenting of microbes) translate into rhythms that the body can feel, expanding what can be considered a voice – and how we might heal through it.
