Graduation project - 2017
​
During my time as an art student I was amazed by the building that hosted us. A factory for artists, rooted in the legacy of the Bauhaus: rational, functional though elegant. There were so many stories that got stuck to the walls, the floors and the ceilings of the building, but it seemed no-one took the time to listen to them.
​
Lonely Rietveld, an allusion to Lonely Planet, was a series of physical interventions in order to show the wonders of the building, accompanied by a travelling guide. The travelling guide contained a map to unknown places, only accessible during the graduation show and spoke off the adventures that were once lost.
​
The prayer room that conceived a child, the boiler room with a hidden distillery and the crawling space
that was home to a man for months. Lonely Rietveld was an invitation to slow down, open up and experience the daily environment in its richness that is too often overlooked.
