Drinking rituals
You have 3 levels of self.
- Who you think that you are.
- who somebody els believes you to be.
- Who you truly are.
By sharing a drink with someone you don't know you can create a portrait of yourself in the mind of the other.
Trough choosing a drink, figuring out how the ritual works and the positioning
of you in relation to each other you create a portrait of yourself in the mind of the other who they believe you to be.
Raak! Windesheim, Zwolle, the Netherlands.
For a scientific research project called RAAK!
A commissioned work to give insight in how it is to experience a stigma.
A stigma is the awereness of the fact that others can preceive a weakness in you.
People enter a room to break with the group in the seminar. They start walking over floorboards hung on springs so you can only focus on the surprising sensation. The walls are calculated to give you a lower body language. This combined with the uncertainty of the floor create a physical response.
When on the centre you can find a place of rest so you can reenter the surroundings finding the awareness that people saw you in a vulnerable position.
A very visible position and the knowledge of weakness in yourself.

In the middle of the room are 3 dimmer switches on the column.
Each of them go to 1 of the surrounding elements.

Abdomunis Inmortalium
Created in cooperation with Erwin van der Doelen, ed-decor.nl
This is my graduation work for Docent Beeldendekunst en Vormgeving, ArtEZ Arnhem.
My first attempt to stimulate all senses in an installation.
By walking in a circle and pushing the bar, the room started pulsating while walking over movable floors to emit a scent and creating sound from the drum in the middle.
As long as people are powering the work, it will stay alive.
