About Qama:RE he says: “My work always plays with a mythological potential. The images appear to be objects from myths. They become abstract instruments with a mysterious function. What I want to create with Qama:Re (moon king) is that the bunker feels like a kind of tomb or sacred place that you enter. There is a kind of altar that also resembles a measuring instrument or machine in the middle of the room with a large floating shield behind it that takes on a living shape through the circle. The floating shield suddenly seems like an angel floating in front of the altar, or is the altar an instrument to communicate with the angel, or is the whole thing a kind of shrine for something bigger. The space is small and intimate, which makes the large floating circle, which appears sacred and dynamic through all the rays, intense and personal. This time the angel does not go up but floats close to the visitor. it evokes a different kind of worship and feels like something that can give a victory. The altar becomes a kind of object behind which he seems to speak to the visitor who enters a kind of mystical intimate space. The bunker will turn into a mystical and mysterious temple in which several objects lie as if a ritual has taken place.”

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.
