In every fiber
Project
-
17-01-2022
- Location: Rotterdam,
- Every fiber takes the viewer into a modern interpretation of Javanese visual language, with a collage of texts and images that unearth stories from the colonial legacy. The approach is not only in-depth in terms of content, but also innovative in approach, because image maker Gwen Stok and writer Christian Jongeneel interact to create material that turns the story into a poetic graphic novel. The project is still in development, expected publication date at the end of 2024.

- In collaboration with: CBK and City Archives
- Location: Rotterdam, Rotterdam
- GWEN STOK Gwen Stok (1983) asks several Rotterdammers to send pictures of the view from their windows. She combines these photos with impressions she gains herself during her walks and with what she hears in the news every day. This has been elaborated in a cartoon of separate drawings and a comic strip-like leporello, a zigzag folded drawing. The leporello symbolizes the grind of the hard lockdown and the days that merge into each other.
