Huid/Skin

In Huid/Skin, scars of human skin are interwoven with traces of degradation in the landscape.
Three photographic works connect these wounds, as if body and earth touch each other’s story.

The works emerged from the Sky Kisses Earth project. During and after a residency at LIAP in Leipzig, observations around lignite mines—energy extracted from the earth—entered into dialogue with the work created during a residency at NES Skagaströnd in Iceland, fueled by the Aurora Borealis, the dance of solar energy. The photographs formed the heart of the installation Inverted Mountain, created for the Moving Mountains exhibition at CBK De Fabriek in Emmen.
