What Remains · The mep, Lucerne

What Remains brings together artists from Spain, Japan and Switzerland around a single conviction: that beauty is not a surface effect but a consequence of integrity. Stone, pigment, clay and linen — materials that are deepened, rather than consumed, by time. A curated exhibition by Valeria Viollaz, 7 November – 2 December 2026.

On What a Mirror Authorises

There are objects that do not style a scene. They authorise it. A Victorian silver hand mirror, a pavé diamond ring by Tiffany & Co., a letterpress invitation by Lisa Brüning of Mille-Feuille Studio: three objects from three different centuries, held together by a single conviction. That the most considered detail is always the one that contains time.

A Curated Encounter · Estúdio Omer Gilony · Lisbon, 2026

Valeria Viollaz travelled from Lucerne to Lisbon — on the same day, there and back — to personally deliver an antique plaster female torso sculpture, curated by VV Interior Home, for the inauguration of Estúdio Omer Gilony. A meeting of two sensibilities that share the same language: the conviction that an object does not merely occupy a space — it completes it.

Hiroshi Aoki · What Remains, VV Interior Home, 2026

Hiroshi Aoki has worked since 2010 with a single concept: how memory and time affect objects. His hand-built ceramics — glazed, fired, and deliberately reworked — carry the permanent traces of heat and process embedded in the clay body. In What Remains, his work enters into dialogue with stone, wax, and century-old linen.

The Fabric of Memory

There are textiles that cannot be reproduced — not because the technique has been lost, but because the material itself no longer exists. Muta Lux works with antique fabrics from France, Spain, and Italy. Nothing wasted. Nothing forced. A curation by Valeria Viollaz · VV Interior Home · Lucerne, Switzerland.

Carol Moreno · What Remains, VV Interior Home, 2026

Carol Moreno presents Forest Reverie, the central work of What Remains. A large-scale painting that does not document a place — it opens one. Standing before it, the viewer is invited not to look but to enter: into the silence between the trees, into the light that dissolves at the edges, into a landscape that holds time without naming it.

Aline Brun · What Remains, VV Interior Home, 2026

Aline Brun of Atelier Brun, Sursee, reupholsters a vintage Minotti sofa — sourced and curated by VV Interior Home — in antique linen of approximately one hundred years of age. A textile already inhabited by time. In What Remains, the sofa becomes an invitation to pause, to sit, and to feel the works that surround it.

When Time Overflows

There are works that do not ask to be understood. They ask to be stood before, until something inside you shifts.

A mountain of sand. At its summit, an hourglass — empty. What was built to measure time was overwhelmed by it. Glenda León did not make a sculpture about lost time. She made lost time visible.

A curation by Valeria Viollaz · VV Interior Home.
