    impression of Pushing a wave, part IV (Tabula Rasa) @ Into Nature 2023

    Thijs Ebbe Fokkens
Some information on this page is only available in Dutch
The work can be read as a story that alludes to scientific and religious endeavors to get a grip on the world. This story combines drawings, photographs, models and installations, and derives from the desire to capture significance and the search for an ideal vantage point to do so, to get a good look at notions about our selves, our tech, nature, time and other narratives. To orientate and position oneself in regard to such complex notions a view is needed that takes a lot of things into account simultaneously. Fokkens' trail of thoughts and actions thus ends up creating a space, not stating a point. Altogether it promises to provide the means to reflect, contemplate, speculate and wonder.
