An interactive installation about how colonisation has shaped itself economically in modern
times.

We as Dutch people have colonised many different countries in our past for our own
economic growth. Fortunately, those times are over. We have confessed our guilt, said
sorry, changed signs on statues and are teaching our children what we did in our past. All so
that we can sleep soundly.

Yet many people do not know that colonisation still occurs in this day and age and has taken
on a new form in a cunning way. Large companies still have power over the colonised
countries and we as colonisers play a major role in this.

Just like in the past, we still steal everything that glitters or shines, just like magpies
(eksters), whilst the blisters (eksterogen) of the exploited only grow bigger by the day.

the escalator is always rolling

Thomas L. Fontein

Every day the same game repeats itself, at the same time and place as yesterday, just with different players. Your body gets absorbed into the flow of the rush hour, while your mind is disconnected. As the train leaves the station, you take your seat in the midst of absent gazes. ‘the escalator is always rolling’ is an exploration of the mental numbness of repetition, predictability and the drag of going somewhere that doesn't fulfill you.
