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.

An interior space filled with the outdoors. In this installation, the floor is covered with earthen tiles, which lose their shape over time. In a stack of tiles, the gesture of ordering, building, and breaking down repeats itself. Your presence unfolds a rhythm of creation and decay. Besides the tiles, the space contains a pallet sculpture that alludes to suspended movement. Because it is unusable for transport, the sculpture exposes how material and function relate to our world and questions your judgment and presence within it.
