In the exhibition Nothing Holds on Its Own, we explore love as a relational logic of existence—an understanding that no life stands isolated. Inspired by Marguerite Duras’s reflections in La Vie matérielle, where she observes that “nothing exists in isolation; objects, memories, and feelings intertwine to form the web of our existence,” the show reveals how connection and sustenance happen only between beings and things. Drawing on this insight, the exhibition weaves together the material and emotional, the personal and collective, to illustrate that all forms of “holding” or sustaining—whether love, memory, or identity—are constituted through ongoing, entangled relationships.
