Somerset House’s annual spring commission for 2025 is Salt Cosmologies by Hylozoic/Desires, the cross-disciplinary collective of Himali Singh Soin & David Soin Tappeser.
The new multi-dimensional project explores the complex weave of histories and myths around Britain’s imperial salt monopoly and activates spaces at Somerset House that once held the offices which administered Britain’s colonial-era taxes on salt. This includes the newly restored Salt Stair, open to the public for the first time, allowing the public to revisit the entangled histories of salt in a site-specific setting.
