Sign Up for Our Open Reading Group: Haunted Potentials

What traces persist when systems begin to dissolve? What futures remain embedded in the technologies we use and the languages we inherit? Haunted Potentials invites you to join an open reading group exploring technology and language as carriers of memory, power, imagination and unrealized possibilities. Together, we will read, discuss and think through how these media continue to shape the present long after the orders that produced them have become unstable.

Bring your curiosity, your questions, and, if you wish, your own research—whether rooted in artistic practice, writing, design, archiving, coding, activism, or other forms of inquiry—as well as references, experiences and theoretical interests that engage with the afterlives of technology, language and social systems.

For the first session, we will read an excerpt from Yuk Hui's Art and Cosmotechnics (2021). Texts will be shared in advance.

The reading and discussion will take place in English.

The AFSAR Comfort Women Study Club (2026) is an evolving research installation by that not only brings together books, films, texts and archival materials to explore obscured histories but also functions as a space for members of , co-founded by Perry, to meet regularly and research collectively. Twice weekly, members come together to read, watch films, listen and discuss.

The space will evolve as new materials are added, making research visible as a tentative, collaborative process that responds to the fragmentary nature of histories that have been obscured or distorted, particularly those of "comfort women".

Furthermore, the space will also host a variety of different events in the comings weeks, such as reading groups, a screening with films by and as well as a talk.

We're very excited to share some impressions from our recently opened exhibition DISSOLUTIONS—Mooni Perry .

At its center is the video installation "EL" (2025), presented in Europe for the first time. Influenced by feminist and speculative readings of East Asian cosmologies, the exhibition takes the form of a hotel suspended between memory and oblivion. Light, sound installations extend the film’s atmosphere into the exhibition space.

Filmed in the historic Yamato Hotel in Shenyang, EL follows the encounter between the Korean poet Sansaee and the Chinese opera singer Fei. Moving through dreams, memories, and historical traces, the film explores longing, displacement, and states of in-betweenness.The sound and research installation "Listening Room" expands on the film through musical archives and performative practices from East Asia in the 1930s and 1940s. Finally, "AFSAR Comfort Women Study Club" is an evolving research space that brings together books, films, texts and archival materials to explore obscured histories through collective reading and discussion.

DISSOLUTIONS Sequence II

On 22 May 2026, join us at Kunst Raum Mitte as we open the second sequence of our annual program DISSOLUTIONS with a solo exhibition by . For the first time in Europe, Perry’s video installation EL (2025) will be presented . Combining cinematic staging, music and historic materials, the exhibition traces historical entanglements between Korea, Northeast China and Japanese colonial rule through dreamlike encounters and shifting temporalities. Centered around the former Yamato Hotel in Shenyang, the video reflects on migration, displacement and the lingering traces of violence embedded within places and their histories – while AFSAR uses the exhibition space for their collaborative research practice.

DISSOLUTIONS explores processes of dissolving and reformulating historical, political and spatial narratives. In resonance with the program, Mooni Perry’s practice engages with speculative fiction, feminist readings of history, collective research and the afterlives of memory across East Asian contexts.

The exhibition is accompanied by a series of events expanding on these themes through screenings, conversations, collective reading and performance.

Join us for a special musical evening! Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good, a film by Catherina Cramer and Sabine Bremer , is currently in its final stages of production. On 10 April, you will have the chance to experience its soundtrack in advance, performed live within the setting of Catherina Cramer’s installation at Kunst Raum Mitte.

For the concert, Bremer transforms her studio setup into a set of instruments. Moving between classical violin, playful jazz and electronic sound, she creates collage-like compositions in which broken rhythms, psychedelic patterns, and percussive elements collide and intertwine, forming a direct and unpredictable sonic landscape.

Before the concert, join Catherina Cramer and co-curator Agnieszka Roguski () for a guided tour of the exhibition and the opportunity to explore the works together.
