OBJECT MORI and MEMENTO OBJECT

For my MA graduation exhibition, I created the installation Object Mori. In this work, I explored audience participation and the symbolism of a ‘home altar’, focusing particularly on the role of objects left behind after a loved one has passed away.

On the final day of the exhibition, I concluded the work with a performance titled Memento Object, in which I ritually cleared the space of all the objects and bid it a final farewell. The exhibition, curated by Trudy Hekman, took place in the last week of June at the former offices of the NS (Dutch national railway company).
