How to Practice Paradise

Sasja Houba

How to Practice Paradise invites visitors to see their outdoor spaces as more than just extensions of their homes. By weaving together art, history, and personal stories, this work explores the elements that transform an ordinary garden into a vision of paradise, and investigates how the modern human revives the ‘lost paradise’ in their own backyard.By visiting people’s backyards and examining depictions of paradise across time and cultures, five recurring elements emerged, present both in historical imagery and in the contemporary garden: (1) a

De Unbuttoning

Judith Spil

Suddenly, something falls to the ground: what could it be? Something that was previously hidden has just become visible through the falling of a button. Judith Spil explores how vulnerability can be made visual. In this work, she uses buttons. Everyday objects often appear in her work. The falling buttons detach from the canvas and form a continuously changing landscape on the floor.The buttons are connected to a thread that is slowly being pulled, and inevitably another button will fall. This happens slowly, just like when you share vulnerable parts of your life. You reveal parts of yourself, bit by bit. It's an irreversible process: once you share something with someone, you can't go back. It might strengthen your bond, but it also feels like something is falling away. A protective layer is missing; something is now being exposed. It's a beautiful, yet painful process in which you give away a part of yourself, which could connect you with other people. You take a risk by doing this, because you never know how others will react to your fragility.

Views from Closed Eyes

Florentien Stikkelorum

Come and look with your eyes closed at a new artwork by Florentien Stikkelorum, created for the Exbunker. The darkness of the Exbunker can become even darker, and at the same time lighter. Views from Closed Eyes invites you to pause and look where you normally see nothing: your eyelids. What you see does not appear in front of you, but within you. What’s to be seen there when you give it your attention? And how vast is the space behind your closed eyes? Together, we turn the Exbunker into an infinitely large place for a moment , a place of imagination.
