THE ENGINEERING OF »AWAY«
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.

GeoVisions: LAND BODIES
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.

TOUCHING LANDBODIES
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

CH3)
LANDBODY HERBARIUM
2022–ongoing
We may read the landscape, the landfill as »landbody«, through its fauna and flora.
More to follow.

CH2)
WASTE TOPOGRAPHIES
