The exhibition will conclude with a sound performance on 9th May, as well as ethan frome’s farewell party.
Soroboruo part 2 is coming up at HAIR in Melbourne in September, 2025.

While the past could never be materially restored, we find ourselves in the present where historical traumas keeps remanifesting itself. As the ancient image of a serpent swallowing its own tail, the pastness, presentness, and as-yet unforeseen futurity fold into a temporally continuous cycle.
In this looping entanglement, engaging with the unresolved past could not be reduced to a retrospective representation merely; rather, it calls for an act of remembering that carries an ethical imperative and responsibility. It is within this framework that philosopher Edith Wyschogrod’s notion of the heterological historian becomes relevant—a figure bound by a responsibility to the dead, to the nameless, to the inarticulated narrative: a promise to overcome the past’s passing and bring it into its actuality. This project experiments with positioning artists in the role of an heterological historian, inviting them to discover the past in discursive and material clarity.
