@runagainstwalls presents Basement Feast, the collective’s third exhibition at Espace 28 in Lausanne. The show brings together 12 artists from diverse backgrounds.
Basement Feast evokes a marginal, underground space—set outside official sites of visibility. The word “feast” introduces the idea of gathering, accumulation, almost excess. The exhibition becomes a place where different practices, sensibilities, and imaginaries meet and merge.
📍 Espace 28, Chemin du Petit-Flon 28, 1052 Le Mont-sur-Lausanne
⏰ Opening & vernissage:
May 30, 5–11 PM

Trained at HEAD – Geneva, Nocotoplasma develops a practice concerned with the conditions under which images emerge. His work takes the form of spatial dispositifs in which light, matter, and sound function not as supports, but as forces in tension, capable of altering perception and exposing its unstable zones. Space is conceived as something to be physically traversed and experienced, rather than as a neutral frame of representation.
For Garage Ghost, he presents Residual Field, an installation in which reflections fragment and shift. Images never appear as finished forms, but as remnants — traces of a passage or of a moment already in the process of dissolving. Memory is approached as an alterable process, subject to continuous displacement. Perception remains unsettled, constantly reconfiguring itself, allowing a residual field to emerge rather than a fixed image.

A graduate of ECAL – University of Art and Design Lausanne, Lara Marino focuses mainly on painting and drawing, attentive to the continuities between the body and the environment, which she envisions as a sensitive ecosystem traversed by both logics of domination and forms of persistence. Her work questions the way in which social and affectsive structures shape representations of the female body, as well as the processes through which these images are transformed, altered, or resisted.
As part of Garage Ghost, she presents Text Me When I’m Dead and Phosphor Over Us, two works that address intimacy in a shared physical and collective condition. Oil and blood are her main materials, engaging a dense temporality, instability, and the continuous transformation of the pictorial surface, in close dialogue with writing.

Visual artist, Sabrina Mansouri develops a practice that engages painting as a dispositif of reciprocal looking. Her figures, suspended between clarity and dissolution, operate as thresholds between inner emotional states and outward perception.
Colour functions as a central language in her work. Shades of violet, blue, and red act less as representational elements than as intensities, constructing an atmosphere that precedes rational comprehension. Through the visible trace of gesture and the layering of material, her paintings reveal a form of crudity that is both material and psychological, exploring the fluid and mutable nature of identity.
Within the framework of Garage Ghost, she presents three pastel works on paper.

Graduated in Visual Arts and trained in the restoration of paintings on canvas and wood in Florence, Klo develops a practice that interrogates human imperfection and its modes of representation. Her work focuses on forms of dysfunction, unfinished states, and the disjunctions between body, use, and performance.
Executive Dysfunction takes procrastination as a structural condition. The work presents a biological vehicle whose presence appears decontextualized and incomplete. Shown within the framework of the exhibition Garage Ghost, this figure operates as a non-normative body: displaced, unstable, yet still capable of movement through alternative means. The image articulates fragility, adaptation, and persistence.

Emma Ferruzzi is an Italian artist based in New York. A graduate of Parsons School of Design, her practice is rooted in emotional expression and approaches painting as a space of release, where material functions as a vehicle for sensation and affective projection.
For Garage Ghost, she presents two paintings.
Shades of Solitude considers solitude as a space of transformation rather than loss. Within a dark depth, a subtle vibration of light emerges, suggesting the persistence of beauty within introspective experience.
Notte Fonda Sul Canal Grande evokes a nocturnal atmosphere through deep blues and golden reflections, recalling the spectral calm of Venice’s Grand Canal at night. In dialogue with the spirit of Garage Ghost, the work reflects on presence and absence, light and shadow, as once-vibrant spaces dissolve into silence.

Indonesian artist Alin Liandisshanti develops a pictorial practice rooted in acrylic painting. She holds a Bachelor’s degree from the Indonesia Institute of the Arts in Yogyakarta. Her work examines the cultural constructions of identity and femininity within the Indonesian context. Altered female figures and chromatically saturated compositions produce unstable forms of subjectivity, situated between social norms, interiority, and bodily projection.
For Garage Ghost, she presents Pronoia and is represented in this context by the collective @bukusenirupa . The work engages time as a witness to experience. Gestures of restraint and bodies subjected to endurance structure an extended temporality shaped by discreet processes of transformation. Hours fold around the figures like petals, generating a slow, cumulative organization of the image. Light, distributed in successive strata, participates in this logic of persistence and tension.

Buku Seni Rupa is an Indonesian collective dedicated to the circulation, mediation, and visibility of the contemporary art scene in Indonesia. It operates as an independent platform supporting the production, research, and dissemination of work by emerging and established artists, with particular attention to the cultural and contextual specificities of the Indonesian territory.
For Garage Ghost, the collective affirms the presence of Indonesian art within an international context and presents the work of Alin Lian and Hendra Priyadhani. Their practices explore memory, perception, and systems of images, questioning how signs, objects, and representations shape our understanding of reality. Through distinct yet complementary approaches, their works open a reflective space on cultural narratives, the transformation of forms, and the interplay between individual experience and the social environment.

Multidisciplinary artist Hendra Priyadhani lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. His practice unfolds between visual arts and musical performance, conceived as a space for formal and conceptual experimentation. His work interrogates the configuration of aesthetic objects and the cultural dynamics tied to contemporary modes of living. He employs mixed media, collage, assemblage and found objects as material and symbolic strategies, with particular attention to questions of ecology and sustainability.
For Garage Ghost, he presents Contradiction, and his participation in the exhibition is supported by the Indonesian collective @bukusenirupa . The work brings together opposing registers by articulating the imaginaries of peace and violence. By reactivating the figure of the dove within a conflictual visual structure, the artist highlights the ambivalence that shapes our representations of power, protection, and vulnerability.
