Laaggedij is a video artwork containing animation, stop-motion, costumes and nature. The duration of the work is 16 minutes.

What does the unknown look like? Xousha Eisenhardt finds herself captivated by the enigmatic allure of the unknown, leading her to explore the origin and creation stories across diverse cultures. In her film, “Laaggedij,” she intertwines her own interpretations of these tales with intimate personal memories, giving rise to a compelling narrative of creation. The fusion of humans and their surroundings takes on various forms in “Laaggedij.” Through the costumes Eisenhardt designed she situated her character just beyond the boundaries of ordinary reality. As the film unfolds, the protagonist goes through different life stages, which Eisenhardt accentuates through the environment. From these different life phases, Eisenhardt also emphasizes the cyclic nature of life on Earth itself. She invites viewers to ponder the mysteries of the unknown and contemplate the interconnectedness of our existence. Laaggedij symbolizes that every ending harbors the potential for a new and transformative beginning, inviting us to embrace the perpetual cycle of creation and renewal.

Tagine and Tulips

Fatine Benouari

Tagine and Tulips tells the story of my bi-cultural identity, inspired by my grandmother’s journey as a first-generation Moroccan woman in the Netherlands. By merging Moroccan craftsmanship with Dutch traditional dress into textiles and form, I create a dialogue between past and present, heritage and environment. My work is an ode to migration, cultural blending and the richness of growing up bicultural. It reveals stories that often remain unseen and invites recognition and connection. For me, fashion serves as a social instrument and becomes a bridge between worlds where identity is not fixed but constantly evolving.
