Before the start of the performance, the attendees were kindly asked not to shoot any pictures or videos. Nothing but the memory should remain.

A square of 200 cm by 200 cm was marked out with masking tape on the wall. The section created was painted with the same masonry paint as the rest of the wall. When the entire square was painted, the marking tape was removed and the floor was cleaned from any spilled paint.
After this was completed, you could still discern the square, but as the paint was drying the square slowly vanished, and blended in with the wall.
The attendees left when every trace had disappeared.

Vierkant was part of the Performance Festival With Traces,

2nd version of the work: Vierkant 2019

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.

Cascade was part of By the sweat of your brow,
an exhibition within the framework of the Urban Explorers Festival 2014

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 step very close to the mirror and,
by breathing in and out a few times,
I cover it with moisture.
I step back again and wait until all the moisture has disappeared.

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.
