Basel Architecture Week, 10–14 Sep. 2024
Curated by the Swiss Architecture Museum Basel (S AM) and Soundcamp Cooperative, three live performances were held on three different locations in the Basel region. Both environmental sound and a voice-over offers a counter-narrative on the alleged periphery.

Research & cartography project expanding the previous investigation of landfilling in Europe. This chapter focuses on the Dutch NAVOS (Nazorg Voormalige Stortplaats) project which mapped and investigated landfills (stortplaats) across all provinces in the mid-1990s.
Supported by Stimuleering Fonds.
THE GEOSPATIAL »OTHER«
Video installation. 2023
Showing a timelapse of 30 min, the video installation shows the geospatial »other« on the periphery. Part of the performance piece (»How to Hide a Mountain«).
Premiered Dutch Design Week 2023

Publication. 2023
Dissecting the legacy and future of landfilling through fieldwork and theory. Publication in progress.
Lecture Performance. 2023
Composed of two narrative layers, the audio-visual performance interweaves layers including fieldresearch, audio recordings and photography.
View project
Book. 2023
The book shows a collection of technologies (patents) used in the creation or maintenance of the land body. Screenprinted with waste ashes, the residues of waste incineration technology, the book questions the focus placed on patenting ever more technology that upholds the status quo rather, its site-specific problems rather than zooming out.

Publication. 2022–2023
The glossary on Land Bodies collects and analyses the language used in the field of waste management. The resulting euphemisms and false interpretations of landscape thus reveal on how language actively contributes to the detachment of the realities of modern landfills & waste.
View project
2023–ongoing
Collecting technosol and garbicsol–both soil types in connection with landfills, from several landfills across the Netherlands as a means to understand the landscape through its materiality.
More to follow.
Supported by Stimuleering Fonds. Supported by Cultuur Fonds, Eindhoven
2022–ongoing
We may read the landscape, the landfill as »landbody«, through its fauna and flora.
More to follow.
2025
Shifting Mountains is a participatory research project about waste streams and closed landfill sites in the Rotterdam region. It invites people of different generations to exchange memories and knowledge about these post-natural landscapes shaped by waste and creates the space for conversations about them.
Conducted with Katya Borisova, Anne Vera Veen. Photography/Videography Miguel Teodoro.
View project
2021–ongoing
Mapping open waste dumps across time, such as Kuwait and Ghazipur. The gaze of the satellite traces a shifting and continously terraformed geography.
View project
Documentary photography series, which traces the relationship between objects and their owners, between value and discard on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
2013–2016
Some of these projects are ongoing, long-term endavours within the area of discard studies and post-natural landscapes, whereas others have been completed.
