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.

ONE FRAME AT A TIME

Het Kleinste Kamertje

"One frame at a time"  An archive of portraits created over five years, emerging from a practice that resists the instantaneous. Each photograph requires extended exposure time, inviting subjects into a temporal space outside the rhythm of daily life.  In the stillness required by the camera, something shifts. Participants encounter their own breath, involuntary movements, the effort of holding presence. What begins as a technical constraint becomes an unexpected threshold, a pause where accelerated time momentarily suspends.
