The city of Enschede has started a project about the history of the city centre and invited me to design a concept for an artwork in public space. My idea is to make a light installation on a building where in the past the biggest textile factory of the Netherlands was located. Here are some experiments and results of my first research. My idea is to create a fragile image of the factory which visually reminds of woven fabric.

This is a movement study of three analogical film scenes. Each film scene originally shows a sheet that is shaken up, the outlines of the sheets were traced and overlayed to created this video.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the speed assignment by our guest teacher Kees de Groot I am doing research about the element silver. It silver is used in modern technology for instance because it is antibacterial. I am interested in the fact that we are trying to become unvulnerable and perfect humans by technology. What intrigues me about silver is also the psychological part, the “cool” and modern image it has.
Here is are some scetch images I want to use for illustrating my ideas.
