The Bending Monument

Transformations

Made in 2018

In this series of 3D animations, a statue symbolizing power bends in different contexts. What begins as a gesture of respect gradually shifts into a movement that exceeds itself. The monument bends deeper and deeper, until the gesture turns into self-satisfaction — a power that pleases itself, consuming its own reverence.

 

The Church

Linked to the power of religion.

 

The Excavator

Refers to industrial power, resource extraction, and the transformation of the landscape.


The Gas Station

Refers to economic and ecological power, the dependence on oil, and the exhaustion of natural resources.



2024 - Context Shift

During the exhibition Transformatiestudio No. 1: Warm or Cold at CC De Adelberg, The Gas Station was integrated into the changing context of the show.

2017 - Perpetrator - Victim Exchange
