Broken Altar (Isolation of Father)
„We are all the leftovers of a feast at which our parents had their fill.” Eszter Babarczy: Apám meghal (Jelenkor, 2025) A feast where the table, as a silent witness, becomes the familiar yet unfathomable stage of family life. An object that preserves the imprint of our memories: who sits where, who speaks to whom, […]
Anatomical Venus
Anatomical Venus is an exhibition about cognitive dissonance and the tensions between what is visible and what is carefully concealed. It is a story about what remains unspoken and socially uncomfortable – a story of pain, but also of female solidarity and sisterhood. In this project, Ľudmila Bubánová turns her attention to the history of […]
Kinderzimmer
It was only yesterday that, under Sebastian‘s command, step by step, thing by thing, I emptied Kaiserwache of everything that bore his name. The former public restroom had been packed with banana boxes, wooden planks, bed frames, two reclining pieces of furniture, and so on—volumes large and small—arranged in such a way that one could […]

Host and distill
Venice is a city suspended between water and air. Its boundaries are constantly reshaped by the tides. Salt permeates brick and stone; mist rises from the lagoon at dawn and slowly dissolves at dusk. Here, matter is never static. It exists in a continuous state of exchange, sedimentation, evaporation, and transformation. Host and Distill begins […]
Ray Optics
Travelling light is most often associated with the image of a ray; a linear course that only alters in encounters with matter. A range of optical instruments can be used to break or combine it. Projectors, for example, primarily use convex lenses to cast digitally transmitted images onto a surface. Developed out of a long-term […]
Là où les organes oragent / Where the organs storm
Laura Bottereau & Marine Fiquet, winners of the Mécénat Touraine Entreprises biennial prize, have devised a project for the cccod galleries that builds on and draws inspiration from the complex constellations they have created in the past.

Parasympathies
Parasympathies is a fragmented body of work approaching sympathy’s flip side: not a shared feeling, but a structural condition of proximity, (mis)alignment, and (in)dependence. Through paired “standard” materials, split forms, cinematic frames, and mirrored language, the works stage repetition without resolution, placing constructive and destructive gestures in parallel. A pair closes in on itself as […]
