During their month-long summer residency at TAKEOVER, Modelab will transform the gallery into a mixed media genealogical garden.

The installation, made out of images, plant samples and decorative elements, proposes the elevation of personal histories into a collective aesthetic process. Through experimental archival techniques, Modelab proposes to acknowledge family memories and identities as a celebration of present life.

Sprouting Stories is a reminder that everything originates in nature and that memory eventually becomes a part of it, and that some memory exercises are an act of resistance and an assertion of life against adversity.
