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.
An Apartment in the Alps · Crans-Montana · Riccardo Rossi
A Crans-Montana apartment by Riccardo Rossi, accompanied from its earliest stages by a curated selection of art, objects and furnishings. A dialogue where architecture and curation become one quiet language.
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.
Anna Urata · What Remains, VV Interior Home, 2026
Anna Urata works with wax as a language for what materials hold and surrender. Her practice — submersing organic matter until it hardens, crystallises, and carries the record of what it passed through — enters What Remains in dialogue with stone, fired clay, and century-old linen.
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.

On What a Table Carries — Il Colonnato · Mario Bellini · Cassina · 1977
Some objects arrive and the space is never the same again. A reflection on Il Colonnato — Mario Bellini's most architecturally resolved piece — on travertine as a material that accumulates time, and on what it means to choose a piece made once, correctly, in 1977, and live with it for the rest of your life.
What Materials Remember
A curation by Valeria Viollaz — on the objects that find each other and the materials that carry memory. Joseph Beuys. Mario Bellini. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Muta Lux. A morning in Lucerne when everything aligned.
