wild ei (HKU, 2019) observes the world around her as a metaphysical naturalist – looking for macro processes in her environment that explain complex processes in the universe. Her work is an ongoing research into how the universe originated and the binding element of life. Instead of explaining this, she presents fragments in the form of video- and audio-installations that show the poetic and magical perceptions thereof.

“Amplitude” is a composition of such fragments in search of the cosmic pulse: an audio installation lets us hear the pulsating sound of a chicken fetus within the egg through the needle of a record player. An old analogue shows the echo of the big bang, the birth of this universe, which is still present in everything around us. A careful encounter between two bumblebees is an essential element for “life”: one is dead, the other is dying.

Dweilen met de Kraan Open

Since the heavy rainfalls flooded the streets of Valencia in 2024, I could not stop thinking about the images of the residents sweeping the muddy streets. Amid the enormous amounts of mud and water, the act of sweeping seemed futile. These pictures conveyed a clear message: people are trying to manage the damaging consequences of climate change. Starting from this image, my project depicts men sweeping the floor while standing in the water, ankle deep. In front of the sweepers, on the floor, is a house and a car swept away by the floods. The tapestries are accompanied by a ceramic fuel nozzle with a knitted oil spill attached, symbolising the fossil fuel companies that accelerate climate change. The installation is created to show the stark contrast between individuals fighting the consequences of climate change, while elsewhere, the oil tap is still running. The title refers to a Dutch saying, literally translated as ‘mopping the floor with the faucet open.
