Exhibition, 2025

The exhibition Tingens Eko explores the presence of grief as it is carried by the body, memories, and the objects that remain. In her work, the artist Gabriella Di Feola allows grief to be a living process, something that continues to whisper, transform, and take shape in the material. Her exploration revolves around experiences of losing a child, where temporal, personal, and historical narratives are interwoven in materials such as textiles and immersive technologies. In The Echo of Things a new dimension was tested in the XR work child remains through the collaboration with sound artist Susanne Hansson.

We also offered daily drop-in workshops to open up conversations around grief and loss, using letter-writing, drawing and open discussions. They were led by Denise Lengyel, a researcher of arts-based methods and digital death studies, to creating a space for people to reflect and share their views on grief and The Echo of Things. 

The artist Subani Melin participated in the exhibition with a work from the project Sorgens kropp (The Body of Grief), by Subani Melin, Karin Blixt, and Maja Kristin Nylander. The work explores how the loss of a child or sibling shapes and reshapes the body. Through conversations, they have gathered women’s experiences, which have been embroidered together with their own into a collective piece depicting grief’s impact on the body.

Through the encounter between these works and practices,
Tingens Eko asks about what never had the chance to grow,
and how it still continues to live within us
the resonance of grief
