The exhibition “What Remains is the Threat” examines violence not as a passing event, but as an enduring architecture. It reveals how the residue of crisis is domesticated into the everyday, encoded within systems, surfaces, and silent rituals. The works turn the gallery into a mental space where that lingering pressure becomes visible. Through sculptures, reliefs, and constructed objects, the show materializes this latent presence: medieval devouring motifs reimagined as bureaucratic tools; geometrically folded panels that echo oppressive façades; and inert, silvered serpents that structure anxiety rather than symbolize it. Together, these works act as forensic evidence of what a society tolerates and normalizes. They offer no solace, only testimony that violence, now stripped of its spectacle, persists as a form and that form remains.
