Sim Chi Yin and Isaac Chong Wai are part of the group exhibition Forgive Us Our Trespasses / Vergib uns unsere Schuld. Of (Un)Real Frontiers, Of (Im)Moralities and Other Transcendences at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, opened on September 13. 

For this exhibition HKW invites over 50 artists, scholars, and activists from Berlin and beyond to deliberate on religious, social, class, national, sexual, disciplinary, and other forms of trespassing. Featuring a vast spectrum of artworks, performances, and discussions, this research and exhibition project reflects on the nature of trespassing and questions the normativity as well as the structures that uphold it. It is about trespassing as a means of resistance—without asking for forgiveness. 

Sim Chi Yin shows a set of glass plates from her work The Suitcase Is A Little Bit Rotten (2023) alongside the two-channel video work The Mountain That Hid (2022). Isaac Chong Wai presents his performance video One Sound of the Histories (2015).

Curated by Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, the exhibition will run between September 14 and December 8, 2024.
