Concentrated daydreaming, 2020

Over a period of four months I undertook a self intitiated artistic research project focused on ‘concentrated daydreaming’. Daydreaming for me is understood as taming the brain to be able to wonder again, the concentration lays in the ambiguity that it was meant to be a project. I explored daydreaming through the physical act of walking. In this case, navigating the urban fabric of Rotterdam.

These four months of research resulted in an exhibition at Het Wilde Weten which showcased works, as much as it exhibited my working process. The exhibition brought together a composition of accumulated elements derived from random encounters, pictures I had taken, materials from my personal archives, online images, as well as objects and materials collected during my walks. 

Composing the exhibition I explored the potential that friction and harmony between images and objects presents when it comes to experiencing them.
