EXbunker

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.

Views from Closed Eyes

Florentien Stikkelorum

Come and look with your eyes closed at a new artwork by Florentien Stikkelorum, created for the Exbunker. The darkness of the Exbunker can become even darker, and at the same time lighter. Views from Closed Eyes invites you to pause and look where you normally see nothing: your eyelids. What you see does not appear in front of you, but within you. What’s to be seen there when you give it your attention? And how vast is the space behind your closed eyes? Together, we turn the Exbunker into an infinitely large place for a moment , a place of imagination.
