Vitrine#5 : Deconstructing by nature (entrance installation Köln)
In preparation of the work Vitrine#5 : Deconstructing by nature, Loes and I went out into the sun to get some Rhein wasser that will help us deconstruct some colonial images. The images I re-filmed and developed on 16mm film for this work are 19th Century photographs from the Rautenstrauch-Joest museum archive that illustrate the unequal power relations between colonizers and colonized.
The work itself is on display at the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum in Köln, in Blickpunkt, until July 21st 2019.

Summarizing an image database into a single file, its image and its sound: Constant
Yesterday, the 25th floor of WTC, where I have my workshop next to Constant’s, was full of joy. The neighbors were having a TECHNO-GALACTIC WALK_IN CLINIC. One could walk in with all kinds of software and file-related problems. You were then taken into the clinic. Into file therapy. read more…
