Gabrielle Goliath’s Personal Accounts, the U.S. premiere of an ongoing video and sound series, invites visitors to engage with survivor narratives conveyed through nonverbal expressions such as breaths, sighs, and humming. MoMA PS1, Insert Address, November 6, 2025 to March 16, 2026.
Exhibition Description
Curated across MoMA PS1’s second floor, Personal Accounts articulates a sonic language of endurance, capturing the intimate nonverbal registers—breaths, laughter, sighs—of survivors from varied global contexts including Johannesburg and Kyiv. This intimate installation offers a poetic, visceral experience that disrupts conventional notions of representation and testimonial authenticity. Presented as a video and sound installation series created in collaboration with survivors, the work intentionally withholds narrative speech to honor the ineffable, cultivating a communal and empathetic encounter beyond words.
