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:

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.
