Quantum field.

That Which Already Exists. An extension of the CONTRAST exhibition in Seoul, on view at @025s.official ’s Seoungsu Haus through June. It’s such a rare experience to encounter the work in a space like this. I had to stop and take it all in several times in the process while putting the work up on the walls. The building is designed by @sophiehicksarchitects . For the exhibition I shaped an atmosphere through deliberately minimal scenography, a dedicated soundtrack, and one of @025s.official signature scents, Silver Lining, to awaken your senses. On the top floor, the journey continues with Tea Thology’s artisanal teas. This exhibition is presented by @maisonnavie . Come visit at 20, Wangsimni-ro 14-gil, Seongdobg-gu, Seoul.

How can a shape influence the human nervous system, and can it comfort you? This question became the starting point for Aletheia. In a space defined by raw, exposed concrete, I introduced a form that feels like its opposite: soft, luminous, almost mythical. A presence that places the audience somewhere in between. The contrast is not only visual, but physiological. The nervous system is constantly scanning for signals of safety or tension. Texture, light, sound, and rhythm shape your response. The warm glow of Aletheia offers a counterpoint to the rawness of the venue. Softness against roughness, diffusion against density, curve against edge. Research suggests that rounded forms, warmer light, and tactile surfaces are perceived as less threatening, encouraging the body to soften, the breath to deepen, and attention to settle. The shallow vibrating water extends this dialogue. As the water forms natural geometric patterns, it reveals that vibration is not chaos, but structure in motion, order emerging through resonance. Aletheia also listens. It asks you to share a hope for yourself or someone else. Your words are received, and quietly returned as a physical card, generated just for you. A trace of something intangible, made real. These hopes are gathered, becoming part of a larger, evolving system. And within this experience, something shifts. People linger. Their movements slow. Many describe a sense of comfort they cannot fully explain. As if the body recognizes something, and for a moment, the space is no longer something to move through, but something that allows you to soften and open up. Aletheia is made in collaboration with the incredible people at @nerdy_artist_union , produced by @maisonnavie . Music & sound by @mariustroy & @andreas.ihlebaek Engineering & construction by @urlook_kr and team A special thanks to @min.jae.hyun at @nerdy_artist_union for really making Aletheia feel alive. A part of the Contrast exhibition by @maisonnavie and @erasedstudio , in Seoul, South Korea. On display until end of June. Additional photography by @yulli_kw0n

Seoul. April 1st.

Les Perles du Ciel. An imagined series of spaces and art installations that explore our relationship to the mysteries and gifts that fall from the sky, accompanied by the sound of falling water.

How do you create a musical backdrop for something that is almost too painful to watch? Composing the score for Flophouse America became a journey of deepening we didn’t anticipate, both as artists and as human beings. Back in 2022, we were asked by Fri Film whether we would consider composing music for a documentary by Monica Strømdahl. At first, Monica herself doubted the film could carry a soundtrack at all. The story was simply too heavy. Too raw. Silence felt more honest. But slowly, carefully, music found its way in, to give the unspeakable somewhere to rest. Working on this score over the course of a year changed us. It demanded restraint, humility, and a willingness to sit with discomfort without trying to resolve it. Some stories don’t ask to be saved. They ask to be witnessed. Above all, we hold deep respect for Mikal. For his bravery, his openness, and for lending his life to shed light on a reality millions live in but few are willing to see. And to Monica, for daring to stay present with him, and for telling this story with such integrity and care. The film has since traveled the world, receiving awards and recognition far beyond what anyone imagined. We are profoundly honored to have been a small part of it. Now, finally, the original score is out in the world. Music born from stillness, from listening, from not looking away. Thank you to Monica and Fri Film for entrusting us with this. Thank you to the gifted @nosizwenow for lending her talent to this project as well. ❤️

Lisière. An imagined series of spaces for mindfulness and quiet contemplation providing a soft shelter immersed in nature.

Entre Deux. An imagined series of installations that create an interior atmosphere within public space. Through warmth, light, softness, and scale they explore which sensory and emotional qualities make us feel «inside» while remaining physically out in the open. They would be temporary climates: spaces where the nervous system can soften, where the city’s tempo is briefly replaced by a slower, more intimate rhythm. Shelters that belong to everyone.

L’Abri Doux. An imagined art installation with spaces that soften you and calm your nervous system.

L’Or Fluide. An imagined series of sculptures of devine gold emerging from nothing, spilling onto the ground.
