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.”

the escalator is always rolling

Thomas L. Fontein

Every day the same game repeats itself, at the same time and place as yesterday, just with different players. Your body gets absorbed into the flow of the rush hour, while your mind is disconnected. As the train leaves the station, you take your seat in the midst of absent gazes. ‘the escalator is always rolling’ is an exploration of the mental numbness of repetition, predictability and the drag of going somewhere that doesn't fulfill you.
