Transit Mantra
Far more than anything the city is a spot where we are continually in transition. Transit Mantra resounds the energy of our movements in the urban landscape. The knowledge of getting in transition now becomes a pleasant moment of reflection. A symbiosis of beautiful design and an improved sense of safety, that is how the installation ‘Transit Mantra’ is best described. Since August 2013, Eindhoven has enriched the Dutmala tunnel with this interactive light and sound sculpture. It guides cyclists and pedestrians through the dark tunnel.

KNOL is part of Studio Vacant NL. They present Inside the White Whale; large white container bags that can be used to create temporary spaces in any location imaginable. These new flexible spaces can serve a wide variety of purposes, and hereby provide an ideal strategy to colonize vacant buildings or other temporarily available places. When the big bag is used, it gives the space a double function; inside and outside. Although the space is merely divided by the thin white fabric, the meaning of the space becomes completely different. The white spaces become a new world; soft light and visual focus. New spatial use and functions can be created. The inside of the bag can become dirty while the space stays clean, or vice versa. Shown here, are three different pop-up spaces.
White Whale #1: the Barber Shop. The white big bag is turned into a new space, in which the fabric becomes the mantle of the hairdresser her client. When the cutting of the hair is finished, the hair dresser simply pulls or folds up the bag until the next client comes.

SKINNED is a growing collection of fragile mold-casts from places. Memorable parts of buildings and other ‘solid’ spaces can be copied endlessly into foldable skins. These thin fragments of spatial memory show specific details of the structure or material of the original place, but also capture dirt. Like skin transplantations they can be taken to other spaces where they get new spatial meaning. They take us to a world in which places are no longer fixed to specific locations, but become nomadic or ‘liquid’. The skins as shown here, are casts of several places in Amsterdam; of which most of them vacant buildings. This project was executed within the master Vacant NL at the Sandberg Institute Amsterdam.

Illuminated by 10 overhead projectors, a transparent insect city takes shape. This miniature city houses different insect species. The buildings are connected by transparent ‘highways’ to motivate the insects to mix and move around. The overheads display silhouettes of the insect movements on all surrounding walls. Visitors are on one hand looking down on the small insects, but are on the other hand drawn inside their world, through the large reflections in the space. A cook is preparing wonderful insect delicatessen in a separate space with 1000 loose grasshoppers, the BUGBAR. Bug sweets – chocolates and special lollies containing edible insects and freshly made insect sushi and tempura are served to the visitors. Viewers can look at the swarming insects from behind a large window, and can also experience a new taste sensation by trying one of the cook’s insect specialties. In cooperation with Amaro Industries.
