HET GROTE NIETS

For the installation Het grote niets (2025), I got inspired by the sober and agnostic idea of ‘​​​​the great nothing’ after death. In the video shown inside the installation you see the image of me slowly be submerged into dark, black waters.

‘The work made with magnolia and birch branches, various types of moss, asparagus and the branches of the sick and felled chestnut tree of the Teylers museum, refers to the death Madelief experienced up close when her mother exchanged the temporary for the eternal in 2022’. (Paul Lips)
