Not often the walls of the mind become transparent focuses on a forehead, the physical boundary between the outside and the mind. The second part of this diptych is a negative in which rocks lie arbitrarily in a pit, indivisible, indefinable, but at the same time tangible and charged with the history of which they form the incoherent fragments.

Negative. Rather than Truth alludes to the idea of a source image through a handmade negative. The title refers to its status; it is an attempt to get to a distillment of reality. It did not yet materialize as an image; it rather precedes the image.

A form of emotional realization and simultaneous over-writing is taking place in Remnant, a life-size analogue print drawn from an old negative. During the exposure of the paper someone stood in the beam of light. Her posture kept part of the image from being obscured, namely that of the depicted person with whom she partially coincides. The inverted shadow hence indicates different layers of time and place.

In the installation There Were Moments two 16-mm films are projected onto both sides of a centrally placed plane. On one side a visual journey can be followed, while subtitles give access to direct thoughts on encountering the world. On the other, functioning as a comment or footnote, a short black-and-white sequence of an approaching movement is endlessly repeated.

Housing refers to the origin of photography. The cassette is an enlargement of the housing commonly used to retain daguerreotypes: one of the earliest photographic processes, invented by Daguerre in the 1830s. The copper plate, which would normally bear the image, is lifted from the frame and placed aside. The housing becomes a container of ideas in which these could be permanently sealed.

Occurrence Project
Not yet available.
The performance Indirect Speech, brings together two especially adapted works: the installation A Whole Fragment and the novella Plateau by Nickel van Duijvenboden. Both works deal with the relation between logic and subjectivity, observation and the inner world of thought.
Occurrence (Rehearsal Space)
Occurrence (Rehearsal Space) is part of a collaborative research into the presence of the body in processes of documenting and viewing.
Hand-Wall
As if to ascertain over and over again the limitations and restrictions, a person’s hand wanders along the walls and the windows of an undefined room. As the eye follows this movement a loose impression emerges – a feeling of the space that nevertheless remains insecure and is additionally interrupted by the look outside.
A Whole Fragment
At first glance A Whole Fragment is reminiscent of a jigsaw puzzle on the floor and seems to be a random accumulation of geometric forms that need to be sorted. The related wall piece reveals that it is a scaled-up derivation of a paper original.
Coordination
Coordination deals with the relationship or struggle between two seemingly opposing poles, rationality/logic on the one hand and on the other intuition/improvisation. In the work physical coordination is linked to thought.

Ramble
The spacious installation Ramble refers to a constructed wild garden in New York’s Central Park, while the English verb ‘to ramble’ means erratic roaming. This situation is transferred to the exhibition space: the ostensible wilderness is re-constructed by a collage-like panorama, while a soliloquy in the background reflects on the ambiguity of its artificial lusciousness.

Choreography
In this project the choreography becomes a spatial configuration in which viewing itself manifests.

Collage Machine
In Collage Machine a studio is documented over a period of time. Parts of the photographs are combined to form one single image capturing time and space.
In a vast empty space a domestic interior was set up. Standing alongside a red brick wall, it contained an
armchair in front of a cupboard with a television, a dining table with chairs standing on a carpet, a cage for a pet and two closets. First, this phase was documented. Next, a reduction was imposed on the arrangement.
