Sudden panic, the doorbell, muffled sound so ominously tearing through silence

2012, RE:Rotterdam, Rotterdam

For RE:Rotterdam, I developed a tall, cylindrical work with a 5-meter diameter, constructed from blue facade profile sheet, designed as a space to be entered, but couldn’t. Both the title – “Sudden panic, the doorbell, muffled sound so ominously tearing through silence” – and the dimensions and materials provoke a response: the viewer feels out the work, searching for an entrance. As they walk around the piece, the graffiti-like marking of red lipstick on the blue surface catches the eye. In this work, the visitor becomes a participant and ‘accomplice,’ with their expectations put to the test.

Group exhibition featuring, among others: Charlotte Schleiffert, Harold te Bree, Iris van Dongen, Simon Kentgens, Justin Wijers, Marian Breedveld, Hans Wilschut
