Reading corner and ephemeral library. A Collective Canvas – result of different sessions of the workshop Possibilities of Co-Existence – delineates the reading space. People can sit and read from a small library I gathered in the last two years around the topic of care. In every case this work is presented in a group exhibition, I ask the other involved artists to share some titles from their collection and temporarily add them to the library.

Contribution from one of the sessions of the workshop 'Possibilities of Co-Existence'. 'Possibilities of Co-Existence' is a series of workshops that use images for generating conversations about collectivity and care networks. The workshop is intended as a tool for creating temporary communities, with the intention to focus on the collective process rather than the final outcome.

A Story of Waterinfo
Sound part of the installation 'tide together, pretending not to sea'. A body of water doesn’t know rigidness, nor static nature. It implies exchange, it comprises rather than separate. Drawing from the essay Bodies of Water by ecofeminist writer and researcher Astrida Neimanis, I argue that we need to approach the world with a different perspective, one that conceives a non–anthropocentric gaze as a starting point. How can we reinvent ourselves as — or go back to be — bodies of water, interconnected with each other and others? How can we not, if we want to survive?

The video is part of a longer project on polycystic ovary syndrome and the way this condition is experienced by different bodies. Two conversations unfolded in the course of two months. One is a visual exchange with Alice via WhatsApp, the other happened in person through multiple encounters between Vera and me and involved talking, writing and drawing.

Artist book, 150 pages. Visual research on the landscape and its representation, through the destabilising perspective of commuting. Pa(e/s)saggio is a dreamlike interlude in the monotony of a train journey. Starting from the slightly altered mental state due to the jolting of the carriage, the images created give a 'veiled' view of the external landscape, inviting reflection on the instability that permeates today's world.

202400:05:59 Paradise Den Haag, Nederland When it is already 5 minutes past midnight to restore the damage done by dysfunctional ecological politics, we dedicate a pause to the art of listening and rethinking our course of action. By listening, sensing, and observing the marine ecosystem from the different angles of our situatedness, we glimpse the fragility of its existence and harness both informative and speculative ways of storytelling to express a shared concern.

2023Yolun Disinda Daragac Izmir, Turkije Yolun Disinda – Off Course – is the result of the apparent randomness of a trip to Izmir, walking and stopping along the way. Encountering relations that developed into experiences, creating works that connect with each other not by design, but organically into its own coherent web. The photographs and videos produced span communities and social constructs: water, rocks, the path of borders in the environment and of the mind, all the while asking what movements we make, and how they are obstructed. yolundisinda.com/ Groep

2023Unstill Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunst The Hague, Nederland Eleven graduates from the MA Photography & Society (MAPS) at KABK, The Hague, are exhibiting the projects they worked on in the course of the last year. If often a final show is considered a point of arrival (as in accomplishment, conclusion), the character of this year’s MAPS degree show takes a different turn. The exhibition space is the studio where the students attended their classes and met their peers to discuss about the works. The curatorial line highlights the connections between the projects and leaves room to their processual qualities to articulate the space and the pace of the exhibition. What does it mean to oscillate through the spheres of Photography & Society? An approach to an answer might be the embrace of the realities we can perceive and the ones we strive to imagine. In this effort It is important to constantly remind each other of the responsibility intrinsic in an act as misleadingly banal as “putting images out there in the world.” In other words, there is a sensitivity to continuously work towards: critical thinking can only find place where different perspectives come together in a space that invites participation and reciprocity. Together, through photography and within society, the works try to navigate, understand, and shape the spectrum of the world(s) we live in. In this, images are dynamic, moving through layers of interpretation within societal discourses, always in negotiation. This is the register that we have been operating with for the past few years, in a collaborative framework where theory becomes praxis, static becomes active, and still images become unstill. Groep

2020Pa(e/s)saggio Private space Vicenza, Italië Pa(e/s)saggio is a visual reflection on train-travelling and commuting, from the perspective of somebody who gets negatively mentally-affected by that. Starting from the notion of conviviality and willing to break the wall between the 'art world' and the audience, the work 'Pa(e/s)saggio has been exhibited in a private space open to the public for the occasion. Together with curator Amina Berdin, Beatrice has translated the images from the original form of a book into the room, creating a subtle communication between the pictures and the bright, metal-furnished space.

Readings of Co-Existence See Lab, Den Haag Den Haag, Nederland The practice of reading aloud to each other is inherently an act of care. Literature helps us gain knowledge, and knowledge – when shared – can generate empathy and criticality. Written words allow us to better understand the world around us. In the course of the exhibition Trial & Errrorrr I invite the visitors into a space for sharing different understandings and experiences of ‘care’ through reading. The space will be delineated by a Collective Canvas, result of different sessions of the workshop Possibilities of Co-Existence. The space in the exhibition will function as a reading corner, where people can sit and read from a small library I gathered in the last two years around the topic of care. Twice during the weekend the space will be activated by a participatory reading performance, in which visitors are invited to join and share the pieces that touched them the most.
