The Living Archive of Survivorhood of Trauma

By Traumascapes – Laura Fischer ∙ Sullivan Holderbach ∙ Isaac Ouro-Gnao ∙ Julie-Yara Atz ∙ Gavin Edmonds ∙ Julian Triandafyllou

Trauma is the embodiment of an experience that violated our being, the internalisation of a horror that was once external and that haunts us through both absence and presence.

Trauma can be utter silence, the void left behind, a lingering ghost, or the elephant in the room we cannot always acknowledge but that keeps squeezing us into the corner.

There is an inexpressible aspect to trauma: the haunting cannot rightly be conveyed through words.
