ONE FRAME AT A TIME

Het Kleinste Kamertje

"One frame at a time" An archive of portraits created over five years, emerging from a practice that resists the instantaneous. Each photograph requires extended exposure time, inviting subjects into a temporal space outside the rhythm of daily life. In the stillness required by the camera, something shifts. Participants encounter their own breath, involuntary movements, the effort of holding presence. What begins as a technical constraint becomes an unexpected threshold, a pause where accelerated time momentarily suspends.

A bald man with glasses and tattoos gestures from a stool, barefoot, to a woman behind the counter in a busy room.

Ik probeer je te heugen

Ken Stoové

This research portrays the inner quest of Ken Stoové, who feels a deep longing to travel to Suriname, the country where his grandfather and father took their first breaths. Although he has never been there himself, Suriname lives vividly in his imagination, shaped by stories, written accounts, and dreams. For Ken, the country symbolizes ancestry, identity, and a possible homecoming, but also uncertainty. He wonders whether he will find warmth and belonging there, or whether he will instead feel like an outsider, standing at the edge of his own origins.

An ornate, light-colored ceramic sculpture with abstract engravings stands on bricks, against a hazy, layered fountain and green plants in the background.

How to Practice Paradise

Sasja Houba

How to Practice Paradise invites visitors to see their outdoor spaces as more than just extensions of their homes. By weaving together art, history, and personal stories, this work explores the elements that transform an ordinary garden into a vision of paradise, and investigates how the modern human revives the ‘lost paradise’ in their own backyard.By visiting people’s backyards and examining depictions of paradise across time and cultures, five recurring elements emerged, present both in historical imagery and in the contemporary garden: (1) a

De Unbuttoning

Judith Spil

Suddenly, something falls to the ground: what could it be? Something that was previously hidden has just become visible through the falling of a button. Judith Spil explores how vulnerability can be made visual. In this work, she uses buttons. Everyday objects often appear in her work. The falling buttons detach from the canvas and form a continuously changing landscape on the floor.The buttons are connected to a thread that is slowly being pulled, and inevitably another button will fall. This happens slowly, just like when you share vulnerable parts of your life. You reveal parts of yourself, bit by bit. It's an irreversible process: once you share something with someone, you can't go back. It might strengthen your bond, but it also feels like something is falling away. A protective layer is missing; something is now being exposed. It's a beautiful, yet painful process in which you give away a part of yourself, which could connect you with other people. You take a risk by doing this, because you never know how others will react to your fragility.

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.
