Some forces shape us in ways we can name. Others move through us unseen, emerging in gestures, in imprints, in the spaces between things. Lena Laguna Diel’s ‘One of us still kicking’ traces these invisible currents—the quiet transmissions of memory, the weight of presence and absence, the forms that hold what cannot be spoken.
Throughout these works, Laguna Diel traces the outlines of interior and exterior worlds, negotiating the dualities that shape experience: security and isolation, communication and silence, past and present. The house, as a recurring motif, holds these tensions within its fragile walls. It is a site of transformation, a vessel for personal and collective histories, a space where the visible and the invisible intertwine.
The exhibition does not impose a fixed meaning but allows its elements to collide, overlap, and expand—like memory itself, like the forces that move beneath our grasp. In ‘One of us still kicking’, nothing remains still. Works shift in dialogue with one another, spanning time, merging past and present into something that refuses to settle. The house both encloses and opens. The body appears and fragments. Communication unfolds, yet evades resolution.
We remain, for a moment, at the threshold. Feeling the force that lingers, invisible but insistent, still kicking.
