‘in solitude’ 1999-2000
text incorporating fragments of songtexts
written on the plane on my way to a one-year stay in CCA Kitakyushu Japan (thanks to Fonds BKVB - MondriaanFonds)

later version in spoken/improvised audio in an infinite loop:

a.o. exhibited in my solo ‘IN/DIFFERENCE’ in 2000
and in the room ‘in solitude’ in my retrospective ‘Karin Arink - States of Self’ 2008 in Stedelijk Museum Schiedam

in 1999 I made this stop-motion animation with part of this text:
