In a world full of distractions and fleeting communication, the installation Onverdeelde Aandacht offers a moment of undivided attention with another human being.
By holding eye contact, the installation concentrates our full awareness on the other side.
Sharing this brief yet powerful connection may evoke a range of emotions, including discomfort and laughter. Team up with someone and enter the installation from both sides.
Stay for as long as you like.

Due to the light transmission and partial translucency, the materials absorb the colours of the surroundings, so that the work subtly blends into the space
The openings between the strips create a transparent effect: visible, yet shielded.
The installation consists of eight custom-bent steel tubes, each 2.5 metres long.
These can be slid into each other in pairs to form four bent tubes of 5 metres, which together form the main line of the construction.
The tubes are supported by ten steel uprights of 2.5 metres high, which connect the bent elements and provide stability.
The PVC strips and the polycarbonate dividing wall have been sanded semi-matt by hand, so that you can only see the silhouette of the other.
I am a multidisciplinary designer.
My work stems from a deep interest in people and their personal experiences, relationships and social issues.
As a creator, I focus on creating space for openness and bringing people together.
