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.

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.
