ON HEALING : Kimsooja | Ellen Pau, ADAGIO IN CELADON : Michael Hoi Ming Du + Hedy Leung

PF25 cultural projects is honoured to present recent works by two internationally acclaimed artists Kimsooja and Ellen Pau at its new outpost in Dornach, presented as part of ‘ON HEALING’, an ongoing series curated by Angelika Li.

In this exhibition, audiences encounter the psychological dimension of gesture and embodied language in Kimsooja’s photographic series ‘Deductive Language’ (2025), while experiencing PF25's 2023 resident artist Ellen Pau’s new video installation 'Luminosity' (2026), unfolding as a meditation on light, temporality, and transnational consciousness. Together, the works create a space for reflection, care, and attentive presence amidst shifting cultural and geopolitical realities, tracing how creative practices respond to trauma, memory, and recovery within the complexities of contemporary life. Approaching healing as both a personal and collective process, the exhibition traces forms of reflection and spiritual resonance as acts of sociocultural connection and transformation.

On the occasion of the opening week, visitors can interact with 'Adagio in Celadon' (2026) — a participatory outdoor installation by Michael Hoi Ming Du and Hedy Leung that constructs a temporary ecology of receiving through sound, body, and organic material developed between Ikebana and sound practices. Rather than defining healing as outcome or narrative, the installation proposes an environment in which the body can experiment with gravity, rest, and surrender. This work will be on view until 21 June.
