Artists in residency at GinDS

Solo show, GinDS Hoofddorp, AIR December - March 2026


“No wonder she ate the apple; I would have lost my mind too.”

Over the three months of my residency as Artist in Residence at De Batterij van GinDS, the bunker functioned as a space for work and research. Taking Adam and Eve as a starting point, I approached the beginning not as an origin, but as something already established: consciousness appeared as a definitive loss of innocence.

From that feeling, I looked at the turning point where something still felt light and suddenly shifted; the moment when play became self-awareness. The tension between curiosity, surrender and self-fear drove the research. The bunker became a laboratory for exploring these shifts: a place where I built, manipulated and tested. The research moved between film, installation and sculpture.
