the book M e a n w h i l e

On foot, from the flat lowlands of the Netherlands, crossing the high mountains, to a small village in southern Switzerland. I worked there as an artist in residence for three months in 2010. Standing on the balcony, I often imagined myself coming over the mountains. It took seven years before I set the first step and another seven years before I arrived. A faltering journey due to healthproblems with myself and in the world, with corona paralyzing everything. Forced to mind-walking, it becomes an inner journey too. I notice how memories can interfere with reality and that observations are not necessarily true. How my body is an ecosystem in itself, subject to the same laws of nature as all other manifestations of life.

To be body
If biological processes in the body even influence your thinking, to what extent can you still be autonomous in your decisions? Does it work differently for men than for women? Are scientists looking into this, and how is it depicted? I register at a university medical center to become a testsubject for a brain scientist.

A history
In the meantime, I immerse myself in the history of ‘going’. From nomadic hunter/gatherer to farmer. From medieval professional pilgrim to Swiebertje, a television hero from my youth. How the aristocracy invented recreational walking and a true revolution was needed in England for ‘the right to roam’. About the development from protest march to sponsored walk.

Worries and happiness
The project is about the complex relationship between man and nature.
It is about being a body with all its limitations due to illness and growing older, but there is also enjoyment and the challenge of such a journey on foot.
About climate concerns, but at the same time it is a book full of poetic landscape descriptions and walking arguments.
I stay as much as possible with private persons and ask them where they are at that moment in their lives, where they want to go, what makes them happy and so it is also a book about encounters and following happiness.

A book where desire, worries and memories come together, meandering between hope and despair.
