I met you instead 2025
A site-specific work I made for De Aanschouw. I always longed to present a work there, charmed by its unpretentiousness, being a small exhibition window in which the work is 24/7 on display and accesible to everyone. It felt as the right context to translate my obsession with discarded objects in public space, to elevate one of them into something worth the attention also for other eyes. A way of making that encounter tangible, which would otherwise be temporary. I met this body while looking for someone else. At first I hesitated, the morning after I went back to the place of our encounter and took them with me.
Epoxy, Collected plastic bag, leaves, 62x120x20cm.
Rush hour, resting body 2025
I always wonder what happened,
how it was possible that you departed ways.
Are they not missing you?
Stuck in the speed of rush hours,
is it even possible to meet again?
