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.”

Indira de Boer

Last January, Indira de Boer spent two weeks walking through the Himalayas. This physical journey formed an artistic research process focused on the relationship between human, material, and landscape. During this trek, the artist explored how meaning-making shifts when the human scale is decentered in relation to the overwhelming presence of non-human entities.De Boer is interested in situations where form and structure meet under constraint. Rather than working with natural objects as given forms, they construct conditions that test how materials behave. Meaning is not predetermined; instead, each work is approached as a situation in which material can actively participate in the production of meaning.

Due to the unique and limited size of the cultural-historical site, EXboot is only accessible on foot and is not wheelchair accessible. There are no facilities for the hearing impaired (yet).

The sand path museum

I cherish both my present and my past. Besides a space for high-profile art, one of my rooms also houses the Zandpad Museum. Here, I'll tell you about my illustrious past and introduce you to people who know me well—inside or out. Sit on my stool, gaze out the window, and listen to the many stories surrounding my life.

Short documentary 'The Sand Path'

The Zandpad Museum is screening a short documentary about the history of the Zandpad. You'll also find numerous audio clips of conversations with various people involved, including a former sex worker and former mayor Aleid Wolfsen.

This Zandpad documentary was made by Sylvie Kamphuis & Jaap Pronk (director), Bram Engelaar (camera), Doenja Abel (production), Twan Bracco Gartner (music), and Bald Beeld (editing). Thanks to the interviewees: Aleid Wolfsen (former mayor of the Municipality of Utrecht), Brenda Oude Breuil (criminologist at Utrecht University), Jannie Teunissen (De Tussenvoorziening), the former sex worker, and the former client of Zandpad. The documentary was made possible in part by the Municipality of Utrecht, KF Heinfonds, Mondriaanfonds, and RTV Utrecht.
