Landscapes in Motion, developed under the umbrella of the New Horizon Initiative and supported by the Mondriaan Fund, is a long-term study of ecological transformation in a site-specific garden in Groningen. In the tradition of De Ploeg, the project reimagines the landscape as a living still life—one shaped not only by human interests but also by the intertwined co-dependencies of non-human actors.

Together with programming expert Aart Jan van der Linden, we built an autonomous camera array that adapts its capture protocols between day and night, generating more than 300,000 images over twelve months. From this vast dataset emerge layered composites—painterly time-landscapes in which textures, temporal change, growth, and light interweave to reveal the deep interdependence of ecosystems.

The work seeks to expand the role of art as an instrument of imagination—visualizing processes that normally remain invisible to us and inviting viewers to experience how ecological rhythms unfold beyond human timescales. In this way, Landscapes in Motion becomes both archive and vision: a story of shared spaces in the Anthropocene. The final work will premiere at the Prospekt exhibition in Rotterdam in 2026.
