In the installation Vloeibare tijd spanning two floors of the water tower at Kunsthalle Lingen (Germany), Loes Heebink allows the element of water to speak as a metaphor for transience and constant movement.
Video projections and transparent image layers combine to form a fluid stream of images in which the rhythm of water coincides with that of time itself.
The installation visualizes how everything moves in a cycle: creation, disappearance, and reappearance. Just as water evaporates, condenses, and re-emerges, life repeats itself in endless variation (“humans are born from amniotic fluid and decay in groundwater”). In this work, humanity is not placed outside of nature, but absorbed into the same breath—one with the seasons, the flow, the passing of time.
In the Kunsthalle’s gallery, a survey of photographic works that had previously featured in site-specific installations and were now shown as autonomous works was on display.
Liquid Time was created for the exhibition Cross Border NL–D in collaboration with the Centrum Beeldende Kunst Drenthe and the Kunsthalle Lingen. The work explores the shared space between landscapes, people, and their fundamental connection: water as border and bridge, as memory and as future.
