INFO
The video installation The Making of Passing Traces won the Young Blood Award in 2020 at the Ron Mandos Gallery in Amsterdam. This prize entails that the work is purchased by Galerie Ron Mandos. The Ron Mandos Young Blood Foundation unconditionally donates the selected work to Museum Voorlinden in Wassenaar. Therefore, the film became part of the permanent collection of this museum.
The film is preserved in a specially handmade wooden carrier; a small wood turned pot made out of maple wood with a ladle (also made out of maple wood, with a ring of tropical hardwood). The USB stick with the film can be found inside the ladle, by opening the top part of the ring.
Many thanks to
Maurice Meewisse (artist) for giving insight in woodturning and for welcoming me to work in his studio in Rotterdam.
