Welcome to this installation that wants to dissolve the boundaries between bodies, time and landscape.
At its core you look at dried Sphagnum moss which interacts with a water system, creating an atmosphere saturated with the earthy scent of moss, wet soil, dried grass, and saltwater.
This installation tells the story of the bog, engaging with both the past and the future, the liquid and the solid.
The space invites grounding and attentiveness—to weather with. Weathering is both method and metaphor: an embodied resilience grounded in observation, reflexivity, and becoming.
It calls for attunement, intuitive gestures, and presence through which new meanings emerge. Sphagnum moss—absorbing, expanding, holding memory and belonging.
A body dissolves into wetlands.
In this performative landscape, this Dutch tableau, the land’s patterns tell of human adaptation—a continuous balancing of land and water, an interplay of ecology, culture, and bodies moving through shared rhythms.
