‘My Space, Your Space, Our Space: My Space’ took place from March 6 to June 6, 2010 at exhibition space Roodkapje in Rotterdam.
Four spatial interventions, continuously open to the public, developed through a constant dialogue between each other and the interested visitor. I organized lectures/presentations within each installation, covering topics from science, music to digital research.
Accompanied by manifestos written for my practice by artist-colleagues.

The second room was painted orange in its totality (floor, walls, and ceiling). I created a room-sized 'mind map' on all walls during a period of two weeks (see also my installation 'messy mind map'). The visitor could not only read through my associations on the wall, but experience a particular function of the brain - the brain tries to balance between cold and warm light, if a lot of warm light gets through the human eye, looking aside we see a blue layer on top of everything else we see. After reading the white text on the orange background the visitor looks at the white styrofoam balls (#1) which are looking blue for a fraction of time.

This installation was situated in the basement of the project space. Each surface of the room was covered with blue stretch fabric which faded away all corners, the only light was coming from the ceiling behind the blue fabric. The moment you would step into this installation your eyes were blinded by darkness, just after some moments you could walk and explore the space. Another result was the disorientation, not knowing where you are in relation to the rest of the project space. Painting the floor upstairs the same color blue, all three installation got visually connected.

This installment was the last one during the 3 months project. All installations were taken down and the spaces were painted white. In one room you could see a photograph of each installation with on the opposite wall the printed version of each manifesto. The documentation video was projected on a wall in the entrance space. The project space was turned into a white cube with only the documentation being the evidence of what used to be there.
