Mobile installation, each module 240 x 120 x 200, 2011

The work consists of a modular construction serving as a mobile hangout place for youngsters in Overpelt. The wooden structures are set on wheels and can be moved around the city. They can be put together in such a way that they create a stage, a cabin, a shelter. The outsides are covered with mirrors, the inside is sprayed with graffiti.
A group of 15 teenagers actively participated in shaping the work. The resulting structures serve as a tool with which they can demonstrate their need for a more permanent place in the city that allows them to gather and meet.

A collaboration with industrial designer Mathieu Gabiot for Future Formers, a project of Eeland in Genk.

Good year / bad year

Production Martine Nederend and Femke Snelting, photo’s Otto Snoek, commisioned by CBK Rotterdam en Het Nieuwe Huren, 2006

Good year / bad year is a diary work for one person. During exactly one year, he or she notes daily her best and worst moment of that day, and by doing so, compiles future memories of the year.

The daily memories are written on two calenders that are mounted side by side, one for the good moments, the other for the worst moments. At the end of the year the two blocks are bound as a calendar that can be used the following year. Each day of that following year, the user encounters a good or bad memory to exactly one year earlier.

Voluntary stay
Multi media installation, CBK, Rotterdam, 1998

Memories of my parental home and curiosity for the construction of personal identity formed the startingpoint for a layered and spatially collaged exhibition and visual research project.
As part of this project I worked for two years under the pseudonym Peter Soneta; after the cheap and popular orange juice in the local Aldi supermarket.
