under the same sun: a collective blueprint (2019)
With this work we investigated how sunlight can be captured in space and time through a series of public workshops or 'light recording sessions'. We opened and shared our artistic practice by inviting participants to capture light in the building of Het Nieuwe Instituut. The outcome was a collective blueprint - a collection of photograms of light and shadow situations from different parts of the building. During the workshops, the building was transformed into a camera, but also into an open workspace where the blueprints were prepared, developed, fixed, dried, documented and exhibited. The collective blueprint in the exhibition space grew with each workshop over the duration of three months. At the end of the exhibition, each participant took their individual blueprint home and the collective work unraveled.
