To what extent does the stuff we accumulate over time—the old photographs, the letters, the children’s drawings tucked away in scrapbooks—have the potential to instruct how we remember the past? In Deadhead, Yto Barrada’s solo exhibition at the Fondazione Merz in Turin, the Moroccan-French multimedia artist investigates this question, reimagining the boundaries of both personal and collective memory through film, sculptures, found objects, photography, textiles, and collage.

Young-jun Tak was a sculptor before a chance viewing of a ballet video on YouTube changed his career trajectory forever. “It was like touching with your eyes,” he tells the Rail’s Phoebe Roberts. Inspired to create his first film, he made a short work utilizing choreography as the primary mode of storytelling. More films quickly followed suit, with accolades pouring in from St. Moritz to Seoul.
