Huff & Puff

A strange, flesh-colored clay figure: a face with large eyes, on a potter's wheel, on a dark gray table in front of a white wall.

HKU alumnus Noud van den Boogaard investigates how meaning takes shape and how space, actions, and materials influence that process. Repetition and truth play a key role in his models. These models are more than miniatures: they explore the relationship between material and meaning, while simultaneously creating distance and perspective, conviction and disorientation. Through a careful layering of references, Van den Boogaard constructs a world that constantly refers back to itself. Upon closer inspection, one space appears to be part of the next. The result is an installation that constantly questions itself, folds inward, and gradually dissolves all certainty.

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.
