Nieuw project: Zoetigheden

‘Zoetigheden’ gaat over herinneringen die verbonden zijn met suiker. Elke week bakken ik samen met een bewoner uit een verzorgingshuis in Den Bosch een zoet lievelingsrecept van vroeger.

Zoals de flesjes van voormalig scheepspâtissier Fred, die hij vroeger maakte voor de eerste klas passagiers. De Napoleon-cake van Lidiia, die zij altijd thuis in Oekraïne bakte. En de Bossche bollen van An, die volgens haarzelf niet de mooiste zijn, maar wel de lekkerste!

De bakkende bewoners zouden graag een boek willen maken met al hun lievelingsrecepten en verhalen, zodat de herinneringen hieraan niet verloren gaan.

Daar hebben we een beetje hulp bij nodig.

Selected Work

Prototypes of the Non-logical Spatial Side – 2023

Phase 1.0: visual research project on the Pulse Generator of a Deep Brain Stimulation

The first outcome is a visual observation and belongs to the first phase of this project, focusing on these non-visible objects in the body. In display brain scans and reproductions of an old pulse generator.

A Pulse generator is a programmed battery that is replaced about every 5 years, and is part of a Deep Brain Stimulation. It is a medical device linked to electrodes in the brain, and is used for example as a treatment method for Parkinson’s disease.

Remote: Please Do Not Turn It On or Off -2022

Intrigued by closed systems as isolated spaces of protection.
In display; a water system for mouthwash.

24 liters of mouthwash guided by 12 tubes are woven through 24 frames of glass, each frame contains 6 perforations. Whenever a tube will crack a tube-guard will protect them. Impulses are sent every 3 minutes by timer to keep the circular movement.

Integrated systems are based on;
– The Pulse-generator of a Deep Brain Stimulation
– The Digital Impression of a Mouthguard

Within The Glassbox_Glassbrick – 2021

Site-specific project located in Liege (BE) supported by Artspace Les Brasseurs. Within 2 weeks 22 glass bricks were brought to different locations in Liege carefully picked by mapping. Getting a grasp of a structure using the system of physical encapsulating. As translation: labeled bricks filled with water of the city were displayed and constructed in the window of Les Brasseurs.

Walking around with backpacks filled with glassbricks, to different spaces; lakes, fountains, rivers, a swimming pool and an aquarium to collect water.

Silica – 2019

– Every hour the dispenser ejects silica gel into the space. The original colour of the silica gel is orange. When its fully absorbed by moist from the air, it turns into green. When silica gel falls into water it explodes, makes a ticking sound and turns purple. –

Tower of Glasses Build with Water – 2018

– Glasses of water are placed upside down on plastic plates, vacuum. In time, the weight of the tower will slowly let the plastic plates bow and some glasses will start to leak. This can take hours or days. At a certain point, the tower will collapse in pieces. From the remains it will be build up again. –

Moister Absorbers – 2018/2019

– 100 moister absorbers transform moister from the space / air into “water” –

Polyacrylic Acid Powder – 2019

– At the surface is a volume of polyacrylic acid powder, a drip irrigation watering system is situated above. The space contains 1200 gram of powder, which can transform to 120 kg by water-

Watervondsten van Wandelaars / Water Finds by Walkers

By collecting objects from various situations, an impression of the past begins to emerge. “It’s not just about what you find, but the circumstances in which the object is found.” This context gives an archaeological find its meaning, and allows us to map out something that has occurred. During this project, a collection was created …
