‘Rebirth‘ shows what form the body takes in the captivity of it’s material. “I started by drawing out my own body in the fetal position, and enlarged this form into a massive-looking sculpture that crawled up from the ground and came to rest in this shape. The work seems to have solidified like lava. Because of the contours of the work, the human form seems almost invisible, and yet my own body always remains the starting point.”

Between Tides is an immersive installation in which Marco Sleumer explores a new part of his inner world and enters a new stage of life. Just as tide pools form between ebb and flow, he finds himself in a liminal phase, a transitional space between being a student and entering adulthood. This symbolism lies at the centre of the project.The installation features organic sculptures inspired by a symbiosis of corals and fungi. Their growth patterns, shapes, structures, and colors are translated into imaginative creations that seem almost alive.
