The exhibition is based on the artist’s own experience as a psychiatric patient. The title refers to the treatment method Prolonged Exposure Therapy, in which the patient tells the story of their trauma repeatedly to process it.
Through video, audio, text, photos and performance, and with dialogue as a recurring theme, the exhibition explores how art and conversation can serve as counterparts to hopelessness and despair, holding the potential to heal, provide hope, and restore faith in life.
In addition to being met by the psychiatry, the artist had a solid network of friends around her during her treatment process. These allies, primarily visual artists and writers, become active co-creators of the exhibition as they contribute their own works in response.
