My bedroom window used to be next to a traffic light along The Westzeedijk in Rotterdam. Racing cars and screaming tires became my wake up alarm.
Part of an overarching project on car culture.
Kieken Centrale
Antwerp BE
Sculpture for the openingshow of the Kieken Centrale. Infrastructuurtje #1 shows the ruin as a landscape supporting the elements which are frequently erased or seen as ‘unhandy’. Instead of getting rid of the electrical cables, interpreting them as an architectural element in the exhibition space.

Ghent, BE
An advertisement for an architectural publication. The publishers are, just like me, cultural immigrants who moved from The Netherlands to Belgium. The Netherlands is facing a big societal problem - the housing crisis. The work advocates for an eazy solution: proposing the marconitowers in a flemish polder.
The work is inpired by the famous Bauhaus costume parties where architects dressed up as their favourite buildings.
