Markt, Emmen, The Netherlands
The town of Emmen, The Netherlands, assigned me to make a
wall painting on a wooden fence around a construction site.
The fence was next to a busy main road.
In the painting I used a mathematical formula; I projected its graph two times in an angle on the fence.
It resulted in an image with a distinct central, perspectival vanishing point.
Moving along the fence by foot, bicycle, car or bus generated an optical effect.

metalic wire, light bulb
+/- 2,5 m x 3 m x 5 m
Artoll, Kleve, Germany
Participating in the workshop 'One Time and Space' by Tadashi Kawamata,
I lived in a small room in the workshop complex, a former penitentiary.
During one week I mapped the presence of both natural and electric light falling into my 'cell'.
Consequently, I graphed out the moments of the sunrise with outlines of the windowframe drawn in metal wire.
Likewise I hung spheres around the light bulb referring to each moment I turned it on.
The distance between each of the frames and each of the spheres
is equal to the time intervals of each reappearance of the light (1 cm = 1 hour).

5 m x 2,5 m
Access gallery, Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina
Before starting out on the SICE 2003 - 'Field Works' project in Sarajevo, I hardly knew anything about the city,
apart from the schematized information provided by maps.
Once in Sarajevo I wanted to represent the city in the same way as I knew it. I mapped the high-rise buildings
in the post-WWII part of the city as in a normal altitude map.
Each distinct colour represents the number of floors of each building.

Acrylic
4,5 m x 3,5 m
A friend invited me to make a ceiling piece in her living room.
In this painting I used the same diagram I used in the bussinesscard on top of this page,
but now not a circle was the basis, but an ellipse, adapted to the ceiling's proportions.
I first drew the grid, then connected the intersection points.
The stripes that appeared, evolved from a light gray coloured, diamond shaped,
wide stripe in the middle, to a black, almost elliptical line at the perimeter.
The optical effect transformed the ceiling into a cupola.

Two suitcases, one for each hand.
The one for my left hand, contains two bronze cubes.
One has the same weight as my left hand, that is 400 grams.
The second cube has the same volume as my left hand, that is 400 milliliters.
The one for my right hand, contains a plaster mold of my hitch-hiker's thumb.
A security suitcase for the one thing I need when traveling.

Mirror
1,25 m x 1,25 m
The river Rotte, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
This work was part of an exhibition on the river Rotte in Rotterdam,
with Willem de Kooning's North Atlantic Light as the central theme.
In documents I read that De Kooning was referring to the moving clouds over the moving water,
enabling the light to 'bounce' between clouds and water.
In my work I used a mirror, floating 70 cm under the water surface.
The mirror would reflect the incoming sunlight;
from the mirror upwards to the bottom of the water surface, and back to the mirror, and so on.

charcoal, crayon
each 50 cm x 75 cm
In order to make a drawing without actually drawing myself,
I made a machine out of Lego-bricks that could do it for me.
Changing the crayons, the period and the speed in which
the machine was runnng, different outcomes were achieved.

Traveling pulse
July 2004
One graph combines the time in months, from January till December
along the X-axis (vertically) with the Latitude of the cities' coordinates along the Y-axis.
The X-axis of the second graph shows the time in hours, from 9 AM till 5 PM, of one day.
Along the Y-axis my pulse: beats per minute. During that one day I tried to reproduce
the first graph with my pulse by deliberate control my physical activities.

nylon thread and cotton thread
337 cm x 337 cm x 337 cm
SICE Living Room, Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina
During 16 days of the SICE 2004 - 'Living Room' project, I registered my pulse
- each 30 minutes from 9 AM till 5 PM: all in all 16 data per day.
I compared these with characteristics from Sarajevo - in this case the temperature in the city at the same moments.
A cubic grid of 16 x 16 nylon threads was stretched between the ceiling and the floor.
Onto each plane of 16 threads along the X-axis the graph of one day's pulse was drawn using red cotton thread.
Onto each plane along the Y-axis the graph of one day's temperature was drawn using blue cotton thread.
The result was a three-dimensional drawing, suspended in mid-air.
In all its minimalism it had a suprisingly strong sculptural presence.
