About the exhibition
In this exhibition, Salome Kappelin traces the remnants that linger in the body, the family, the landscape, and in memory.
Through drawing, textile, performance, and sound, she engages with themes such as intergenerational trauma, vulnerability, care, and healing.
Liturgical structures and ritual gestures are employed to create spaces for listening, repetition, and embodied memory.
The works carry stories of the Finnish war history and the family’s migration to and integration in Sweden, alongside personal contemplations on taking care of and living with a sick father.
In the interplay between family archives and autofiction, between repetition and dissolution, an afterscape—Efterlanskap in Swedish and Jälkimaisema in Finnish—emerges: a site where the past can be renegotiated, and new narratives can begin to take form.
