Repeatedly
Elongating the breath of a memory

2023
Commission
Sound and Image Institute 
Two documents are gathered in an orange envelope that refers to the Archive of the Sound and Image Institute. The depot consists of five stories fully covered in orange paint. The envelope is a meeting point for the archiving code, the title, and the number of the edition. The sample pack and the work are equal attempts at keepsake, holding onto memories that will lose context over time. As a whole underlining the mortality of the things we collect and questioning the immortality of the archive.

All of our memories are fragmented. We don’t truly recall the full experience of these moments but we link each fragment to another fragment to create a cohering memory. It’s only after critically looking at our full memories and noticing these (often visual) fragments that we’re able to truly look at the fragments by themselves. What do we see? Are these fragments like photographs, immovable and frozen in time?

Nothing Seemed Out of Place
2022
Exhibition
Kunsthal Kloof


The exhibition ‘Nothing seemed out of place’ brings together two artists who dissect structures, whether that is a building or public space. An alternative construction or rather re-construction is brought into place, using different methods.

An observation of traces and fragments of maps.
Collecting outside views, bringing them closer.
To bring together, to rethink, to rearrange.
