About the chapter

PF25 cultural projects brings together recent works by Kimsooja and Ellen Pau at its Dornach Atelier as part of ‘ON HEALING’, an ongoing series curated by Angelika Li.

Kimsooja’s photographic series ‘Deductive Language’ considers the psychological dimensions of gesture and embodied language. Ellen Pau’s video installation ‘Luminosity’ unfolds as a meditation on light, temporality and transnational consciousness.

Together, the works create a space for care and attentive presence amid shifting cultural and geopolitical realities. The exhibition approaches healing as both a personal and collective process, and spiritual resonance as a form of sociocultural connection and transformation.
