"A house. A house in which there is no boundary between interior and exterior. In which there is no separation between wall, floor and ceiling and where gravity shifts. A house that moves, and in which the kitchen is not standing anymore where it was standing just before."

When Rosa Vrij and her partner Ben Weir moved in together in 2018, Rosa invited him for an artistic exchange. Together, they reflected on their relationship to their home and to each other. Through drawings, sculptures, text and performance, Rosa and Ben created an imaginary house in which the body and architecture merged.

Performative book presentation

During the performative book presentation, the audience will go through this archive. Slowly, visitors themselves become part of a journey through architectural, personal and emotional spaces. For how do you actually relate to the other and to the space around you?

The performance is in Dutch, the text of the book is in English.

Three performances will take place on 2 September: at 11:00 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Each performance lasts 90 minutes.
