Edges that blur, bodies that fold into something other

Group exhibition by TIRED MASS, ACUD Galerie, Berlin, Germany, 2025

MONTY RICHTHOFEN
Edges that blur. Bodies that transform without submitting. Not a claim to space, but another way of inhabiting it. Movements that do not dominate but unlearn what we were taught to see as unshakable. Surfaces that breathe. Gestures that shift the weight of the world – imperceptibly, yet irresistibly. In a world that glorifies hardness, softness is a risk. But therein lies its strength: in the choice to remain open. To allow oneself to be touched. To bend without breaking. A form of resistance that does not arrive armored, but with an openness no less political. Refusing to become hard is a rebellion against a system that sells us hardness as strength. Our bodies, our voices, our images – they whisper, tremble, stretch. They tear nothing down. They yield. And it is in that yielding that space emerges. Space for the other, the tender, the repressed. Rebellion is not always a cry. Sometimes it is a breath held too long. Sometimes a crease that won’t smooth out. A touch that lingers. A tension that holds us together because we share it. A knowledge that cannot be put into words, that rests on the skin, that hums beneath the silence. Not all monuments must stand. Some dissolve. Some dance. Some remember differently. Here, resistance is not a thunderclap – but a whisper. Not an explosion – but a quiet dissolution. Not a boundary – but an opening.
