Inspired by the way she observes the world around her, from fascinating to shocking, Rosa Huibers’ film projections come alive within the space they occupy. Through her work she lets people explore different world views. 
She finds it interesting how people interpret the abstract messages of her work in different ways.

The subject of Huibers’ graduation project was about the intertwined virtual and physical world: “Due to the constantly present media we’re always aware of what happens elsewhere in the world. At the same time, we don’t know that much by our own experience. Media defines how we see reality. However, can we really even speak of reality in this context? My work shows that reality is creatable through different ways of presentation, like adding or substracting images or light from a scene.” Her work in EXboot will consist of a film installation that will come alive within the space. An abstract visualization of themes inspired by the history of the EXboot, e.g. vulnerability, prejudices and losing control of yourself.

For Huibers, the camera functions as her third eye. Through her camera, she captures the world in the way she wants to show it. “I’m inspired by the fact that I have control over the image I bring into the public eye. Fiction and reality are confused with each other by handmade and everyday images I film, manipulate and interweave together as an entire thing. Most of the time, sounds are influenced.”

Waste of Time

Domas van Wijk

Waste of Time is Domas van Wijk’s first solo exhibition in Utrecht, the city where he was born and raised. The fact that it took this long might say something about his relationship with the place, and perhaps the other way around too. After graduating from the art academy in Arnhem in 2017, he moved on to other cities and countries. Two years ago, he returned to the area where it all began and now it feels like the right time to reintroduce to utrecht what was already there.

EXboot is vanwege de unieke en beperkte omvang van de cultuurhistorische locatie enkel te voet te betreden en niet rolstoeltoegankelijk. Er zijn (nog) geen voorzieningen voor slechthorenden.

Het zandpadmuseum

"I cherish both my present and my past. In addition to being a place for groundbreaking art, one of my rooms also houses the Zandpad Museum. Here, I share the story of my illustrious past and introduce you to people who know me well—inside and out. Take a seat on my stool, gaze out the window, and listen to the many stories surrounding my existence."

Short documentary ‘Het Zandpad’

In the 'Zandpad Museum', you can watch a short documentary about the origins of the Zandpad. The Zandpad used to be a strip of boats in the river Vecht, where sexworkers could fullfill their profession legaly. The documentary features numerous audio fragments of conversations with various people involved, including a former sex worker and former mayor Aleid Wolfsen.

This Zandpad documentary was created by Sylvie Kamphuis & Jaap Pronk (directors), Bram Engelaar (camera), Doenja Abel (production), Twan Bracco Gartner (music), and Bald Beeld (editing). Special thanks to the interviewees: Aleid Wolfsen (former mayor of Utrecht), Brenda Oude Breuil (criminologist at Utrecht University), Jannie Teunissen (De Tussenvoorziening), the former sex worker, and the former client of the Zandpad.

The documentary was made possible with support from the Municipality of Utrecht, K.F. Heinfonds, Mondriaan Fund, and RTV Utrecht.
