again is an extension of Beka’s solo exhibition, what if i forget. Featuring materials that carry the accumulated wear and debris from her previous installation, this reiteration investigates memory, perfectionism, cleanliness and wear through materiality and the traces of human interaction. New aluminium sheets clad the gallery walls, while previously used sheets were relocated to the gallery floor, registering a shift between what was and what now is. Photographic works were presented alongside these surfaces, still holding magnet and dirt marks from their previous installation site. The exhibition invited ongoing records of contact across both wall and floor-based works. The gallery became a site of shared experience, where audiences were invited to engage with the work, whether accidental or intentional, gentle or disruptive; the audience became an active participant in shaping the work. These interactions speak to the involuntary act of letting go, where uncontrollable and inevitable shifts of the material resemble personal processes and experiences beyond control. Rather than existing solely as a recollection of the past, again exists as an ongoing negotiation between past and present, where meaning is continuously reshaped through material alteration and audience interaction.
