Photography: Nicolas Delaroche Studio [Villa Bernasconi](https://www.villabernasconi.ch/?ref=catapult-platform.art) • [Submit](https://www.catapult-platform.art/submit/) --- ## Curatorial Statement: A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories - Villa Bernasconi ***The project reveals the spectral potentialities of fabric: veiling, transparency, imprinting. By unveiling what cannot, or should not, be seen, textiles reveal invisible and intangible forms.*** ***The material becomes a surface for projection, a tactile medium im- bued with memory. The exhibition focuses on what is transmitted beneath the surface: family and cultural legacies, repressed and collective fears, fragmentary, intimate memories. It questions how domestic spaces, ordinary gestures, social structures, and forgotten stories can become sites of haunting traces of memory that elude rational understanding.*** In dialogue with the architecture of Villa Bernasconi, the house—in- habited by artworks - becomes a subject in itself. Throughout the rooms, visitors are invited to navigate among voices, absences, ap-paritions, and suspended narratives. Textile and sculptural installa- tions, videos, performances, and sound pieces together create a sensory experience that oscillates between popular and historical references, critical perspectives, and raw emotions. ![Exterior view of Villa Bernasconi in Lancy, Geneva, venue of the exhibition “Stitches: A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories”, 2026.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/03/Villa-Bernasconi--Lancy.webp) Exterior view, ****Villa Bernasconi**, Lancy (Geneva).

Exhibition view, Stitches: A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories, ****Villa Bernascon**i, Lancy, 2026\. Photo: Nicolas Delaroche Studio Here, the ghost is seen as a messenger between worlds, a bearer of hidden stories, and a guardian of memory in the face of oblivion. A magical, spiritual, and fictional figure, it occupies an ambivalent place in everyday life, intimacy, and the world of entertainment. With tenderness, mischief, or fear, the works in the exhibition summon the presence of these spectral, imaginary, and familiar beings: these “others” with whom we coexist, who follow and accompany us. --- ## Why this exhibition matters At Villa Bernasconi, fabric becomes more than material. It operates as a carrier of memory, absence, and inherited stories. For **Catapult – Munchies Art Club**, the exhibition matters because it shows how everyday materials can hold complex emotional and cultural residues that resist simple explanation. --- ## Notable Works and Exhibition Views: ![Gregory Tara Hari placed on pedestal stands draped with black fabric in a gallery room at Villa Bernasconi, part of the exhibition “Stitches: A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories”, 2026.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/03/Gregory-Tara-Hari--Villa-Bernasconi--lacy--2026.webp) ****Gregory Tara Hari**, **Thai House*, 2025, paint, acrylic varnish, wood, sound (sound: Thom Driver) and **The Victorian House*, 2026, paint, acrylic varnish, wood, sound (sound: Thom Driver).
