The exhibition molten rift is home to a nest in which ornaments of Persian tapestry find a place to rest. Artist Noushin Redjaian creates poetic sculptures that combine elements of the persian culture with her view on storytelling. By giving them a covered crystal surface, an archive of ornaments and memories can grow at its own pace. When they leave her studio, she says, her befriended artworks go to explore.

and finding sand.
To trace the nest, scents of hidden edibles by artist Liza Sočan emerge within the landscape. With her background in industrial design, she extracts elements from slovenian culture and hides seemingly simple flavors in complex forms. On a humorous playground, hidden sweet tastes tell stories that expand the meaning of the edible. Leftovers of food remain.
