The Only Way Out

An immersive installation commissioned by the Swiss Foundation for Mine Action (FSD) that places visitors in the perspective of nearly 100 million people who live in areas contaminated by mines and explosive remnants of war. The work evokes the scale and human cost of contamination, confronting the long-term humanitarian, social and psychological consequences of armed conflict. It prompts reflection on humanitarian demining, responsibility, and how societies remember and respond to hidden wartime legacies.

Song Ruijin presents her first institutional solo exhibition, assembling a new series of paintings and ceramic sculptures within a site-specific installation. She constructs an unstable universe where the sky becomes ground and interior merges with exterior, populated by emoji-like figures that reflect individual alienation and the absurdities of digital capitalism. Through a syncretic visual language of accumulating imagery—sometimes comforting, sometimes unsettling—her sensory installations reveal logics of exploitation and control affecting human and non-human actors.
