teken de tijd
Especially for the exhibition eb (July 26 - October 25, 2020) at Museum Schokland, the Netherlands, I created the installation teken de tijd. Six life-size charcoal drawings, rear views of six generations of women, were printed on white sheets and hung on a clothesline. The clothesline becomes the place where the relationship to time is expressed and revealed. Women of different ages appear on white sheets, waving in the wind. Six generations of women become visible during low tide. The cycle of low and high tide manifests in the drying of the laundry. eb is a temporary condition in which we find ourselves once again, but is there progress in the cycle? As time passes, it seems to stand still.
The installation consists of a five-meter clothesline with six prints of original charcoal drawings on U-Circular Silk Satin Heavy fabric, made from 100% recycled PET (each piece measuring 215 x 140 cm), and two galvanized steel poles.
