The Space between Memory and Expectation
The interval, the space in between, is about the moments during which apparently nothing happens, but without which no change could happen. This project is another way to describe this state of stillness and transition.
These landscapes are familiar to us and at the same time appear abstract when presented in representation. The abstract image seems to be listening to you and you feel “touched” by its non-quantifiable space.
Guided from one sweeping landscape to the next not doubting their separateness in location and origin shows the interconnectedness of distant environments.
The silent and continuous erosion trickling from the top of the mountains, via the glaciers, tropical forests, sand dunes, icefields into the ocean. I am presenting the familiar and the known in an intimate way, relating to parallel realities from different locations, opening up conversations between the different (political) landscapes in which we live.
