On Saturday November 15 2014, at exactly 14:20 CET, I walked into the city library (51°55’15.9″N, 4°29’18.8″E), Centrale Bibliotheek, Hoogstraat 110, Rotterdam), carrying a black cotton bag.
At the center of the hall I stopped walking and checked the bag and all the pockets of my cloths. Whatever I was looking for, I did not find it.
I waited a few seconds. Then once more I thoroughly checked the bag and my pockets. I turned around, walked back to the door (hastily) and left the building.

About Scenes:
On this website and on Facebook I announce small events that will take place at a certain location and at a certain moment in the near future.
Everybody is invited to be at the exact spot at the exact time to contribute to the scene with his/her own simultaneous activity (or inactivity).

Heute Morgen is a performative work, carried out on July 1st 2014, in the Kutscherhaus in Recklinghausen, Germany. During the process all visual decisions were made and then again undone. Nothing of the work is left to be shown in the exhibition, except the video documentation of the process.

Heute Morgen was part of the Via Via show,
July 4 – August 17, 2014.

performance (3 men):

In an old uninhabited vergers house in Dordrecht:
25 jerrycans are stored on the attic, each filled with 10 litres of water.
One by one, they are carried down. Halfway the top stairs they are poured into other, empty jerrycans. The then filled jerrycans are carried one floor lower. Halfway the second stairs they are again poured into empty jerrycans. The now filled jerrycans are carried to the groundfloor.
When all 25 jerrycans arrived at the groundfloor they are one by one emptied on the pavement in front of the house.

In the morning I walk an improvised route through the city,
in the afternoon I walk exactly the same route again.

I stand in front of a white wall.

I take a small round mirror out of my pocket, put some glue on the back and press the mirror against the wall.
I get very close to the mirror and by breathing in and out a few times, I cover it with damp.
I stand up again and wait until all the moisture is gone.

I remove the mirror and put it back in my pocket.

In the morning I am standing for 30 minutes in front of a Dutch painting, Het Gein, by Willem Roelofs (1883),
imagining myself part of that landscape.

In the afternoon I am standing for 30 minutes in a field in the polder De Biesbosch,
with my eyes closed, imagining the space around me.

(7-8 minutes)

I am standing barefoot, a glass of water in my right hand.
I wait for silence around me.
I then bow forward very slowly and spill some water. After a few drops I move back a bit.
The bowing and moving back is repeated until the glass is empty.
I return in an upright position.
