A guide to get lost
2021 in collaboration with Hannah KerstenThe project Get Lost consists of a video work and a booklet that encourages others to go get lost.
Lost in the surroundings, lost in your thoughts, lost in the connection between the two.
In a world that focuses on speed and efficiency, we often avoid the side route. Exactly this reduces the chance of surprise and the unexpected, which in itself is very valuable. Through interpretable instructions in the guide that doesn’t direct, the booklet invites you to take the detour. The video is a visualization of this experience, creating a new place by overlapping two locations. It enables us to break a routine by exploring new roads and paths.
This guide will be passed on to others, creating a movement without a linear direction. Sometimes you have to lose sight, to be able to find.

Actions or events that occur only or mainly in one's own imagination.
Kopfkino’s can be triggered by wandering off with visuals open for interpretations,
letting your imagination fill in the rest.
Please wander off, on your own terms
Wandering is a way to travel in time
Wandering is needed in a busy overactive life
to process and self-reflect
to relax or meditate
to get to know your surroundings
to get in your own Kopfkino, but be careful and kind, since this is a cinema you can’t always leave.
Find ways to wander daily,
In this installation, I present four paths to wander.
The metro can be a great tool to get in your Kopfkino so is your local café, perhaps the mall, or even a random sidewalk.
Observe, absorb, drift off, and create your own reality.
