‘boog’ 1989

  • the Dutch word ‘boog’ means both ‘bow’ (as the weapon) and ‘bowed’-
    photo of me with the wearable object ‘boog’ 1989
    made during my second year at the art school of Rotterdam (which is now the Willem de Kooning Academie)
    object as confinement, posture dictated by object
    testing various relations between my body and a self-made object in order to get away from traditional ‘sculpture’
