Shortcut (Bierum and Tunesia)

Photo by Marc Knip
In this version of the work Shortcut, I combine images from Bierum, Groningen, with images from Djerba, Tunisia.
With a blue suitcase, a figure walks through the silt of the Eems to an unknown destination. The performative act in Bierum in the cold and wet spring months in the Netherlands, contrasts with the intervention in the hot and dry environment of Tunisia.
Salt, water and the vastness of the area, however, connects both places and the images come together in a film and installation without beginning or end that I first presented during SEE Djerba, (TN) in October 2024 and was after that shown during the Interference Autumn program in Tunis (TN) and during the solo exhibition No departure information available at ARTisBOOK Groningen
