Installation as a result of 2 hour performance during the opening of Mealstrom exhibition in Arti et Amicitiae Amsterdam

The two-hour performance at the opening leaves traces; traces of paper, traces of movement, traces of energy, traces of life being in decay.  The performance is a reflection of the origin of the dead material: paper and charcoal. Through the crease and further processing of the material the veins and the sap as a source of life are made visible. Trough the repetitive destruction the decay of material and exhaustion you can sense decay. A dualistic proces between life and death surrended to coincidence.

The artists Jolanda Jansen and Anna j. van Stuijvenberg create with their installations a ‘Landscape of Paper ‘, in the exhibition Maelstrom at Arti et Amicitiae from Friday May 31st to Sunday June 23rd 2019.
