EXbunker

We live in a constant cycle of destruction and rejuvenation. The Earth is changing. We are
changing. How will a potential post-human life evolve and shape new visions of the world?
Four Fine Art students from the HKU (NL) and KASK (BE) explore these questions and reimagine
them in a site specific installation here at the ExBunker. New ground is given for nature to start
sprouting again and artefacts from a lost past will emerge, intertwined with contemporary and past
habits. The Bunker is transformed into a space of potential life that will survive even in an apocalyptic
scenario, similar to the Svalbard Global Seed Centre in Norway, harbouring its seeds and giving
them the opportunity to flourish again, giving rise to a new landscape that goes beyond the known
geographical and social boundaries. The installation comes to life, grows and reveals traces of a
long gone past, frozen in time, conjuring a speculative reality that is not far from the truth.

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.
