Drawing inspiration from personal heritage and Rosi Braidotti's Nomadic Theory, Leonid Keller presented a precise, collaboratively raised reconstruction of a yurt Skeleton for our solo exhibition Beyond Liminal (2026) for Salzkammergut Festwochen Gmunden in Austria. The traditional Central Asian dwelling—built without foundations-becomes a walk-in metaphor for an „ethic of becoming." Together with other new and recent works of the exhibition, it invites us to view transitional states not as a temporary phase but as a permanent and productive ways of existing where identity is never static. ︎
