Solo exhibitions 

  • Plastic Matrix; 2020 (NL)
    • Plastic Matrix takes place within an environment experienced through individual screens. Inspired by the idea of gender as fiction and realities as many, the performers occupy a space of intimacy. The murals, a sculpture and a wall on wheels make up the surrounding of this locked up space. The human- like beings occupying this space tell a story. The narrative of Plastic Matrix takes the viewer on an erratic trip. Yet the soreness underlying witness a loss of some kind. http://gastatelierleo13.nl
