Piertopolis Project

Inspired by Babylon of COBRA artist Constant, Piertopolis features an architectural design for an installation of a life-size landscape made out of piers and walking bridges. A pier accommodates the act of leaving, of traveling and embarking – it is a place where the gone and lost are contemplated. At the same time, a pier is a place easily associated with arrival and return, with reconnection, and with the fulfillment of hopes and wishes.

Gravitational Series

Video loops, documentaries and installations inspired gravity, science and by the late Los Angeles based Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader. My projects refer to exile identities and they bring together thoughts, ideas, experiences, dialogues of different people around the world. Bas Jan Ader disappeared in an attempt to cross the Atlantic in a small boat from the US East coast to Ireland in 1975.
