‘Soelaas’ is about snackbars, laundries and public toilets. Places like this – places that radiate human loneliness in a certain way – show us that humankind is not perfect. Not that this is a bad thing: it is part of being human. We don’t have to pretend that we always eat healthy, that we are never lonely, that we have mastered life. These places comfort us.

Noud Boogaard
HKU alumnus Noud van den Boogaard investigates how meaning takes shape and how space, actions, and materials influence that process. Repetition and truth play a key role in his models. These models are more than miniatures: they explore the relationship between material and meaning, while simultaneously creating distance and perspective, conviction and disorientation. Through a careful layering of references, Van den Boogaard constructs a world that constantly refers back to itself. Upon closer inspection, one space appears to be part of the next. The result is an installation that constantly questions itself, folds inward, and gradually dissolves all certainty.
