Floodlight

Floodlight explores the future of Amsterdam's waters and brings together image, sound in a spatial experience. Central to the installation are 'overgrown' canvases that originated during Marjolijn's earlier projects. These canvases, bearing signs of life, are both medium and material: a surface for moving images. Together with the spatial sound experience, they create a speculative, immersive experience. The audience is taken on a journey into possible futures of a dynamic ecosystem that grows, changes and displaces.
