Solo Exhibition
De Tunnel, Utrecht (NL)
A solo exhibition situated somewhere between visual art, archaeology, and a visual essay. The title Artefacts & Artifacts deliberately plays with the word’s dual meaning: on one hand as an object of cultural or historical value, and on the other as a byproduct or distortion within a creative process.

This exhibition is a temporary composition of new and existing work, assembled from personal archives, sketchbooks, material collections, and reference sources. Inspired by systems, meanings, and patterns within contemporary culture, public space, and media, some sources are clearly recognizable, while others have become difficult to identify due to repeated transformations.
Details:

Various artworks, objects, paintings and readymades.
