In 'Untitled (Stones)', these monumental architectural-ruins are taken from their resting place and temporarily (dis)placed within the context of the Rietveld Academie. The contrasting architectures intertwine, with the contemporary intact monument becoming host and support for the fragmented ones; past times are being held in accordance to present existence. A piece can be seen dwelling - both physically, between ground and ceiling, and metaphorically, between now and then, between what it is and what it once was. (What will it be?)
This video portrait is part of a series of ten video portraits of selected 2023 graduation projects as part of Rietveld Review(ed). With these portraits, the art academy Gerrit Rietveld Academie highlights and celebrates remarkable art projects by the next generation of artists. Each video portrait was made in close collaboration with the artists to give insight into their way of thinking and working.
