Between Tides is an immersive installation in which Marco Sleumer explores a new part of his inner world and enters a new stage of life. Just as tide pools form between ebb and flow, he finds himself in a liminal phase, a transitional space between being a student and entering adulthood. This symbolism lies at the centre of the project.

The installation features organic sculptures inspired by a symbiosis of corals and fungi. Their growth patterns, shapes, structures, and colors are translated into imaginative creations that seem almost alive.

The project emphasizes that liminal phases are not voids but are filled with richness and potential. Visitors are immersed in a fantastical environment that presents the unknown as something beautiful and full of promise. At the same time, Between Tides invites reflection on the moments of change in one’s own life and the hidden possibilities they hold.
