She is on display between my walls because it’s a rare example, the last remaining good girl. A young woman who has not cheapen her sexuality yet. She has self-respect, is obedient and she is everything but provocative. She does not ask for it. She does not have to be censored because her intentions are never vulgar. Safely protected in a bunker so the outside world cannot mess with her purity. That’s how we prefer te see her.
This exhibition is closed. This is showing at EXbunker now:

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.
