    Idol was commissioned to be displayed during the Motel Mozaique annual festival in 2023. This ambitious piece seeks to illustrate the fluidity of contemporary identity and the culture of Rotterdam by merging traditional iconography and archetypes with advanced digital techniques. The iconographic symbolism featured in this work strives to explore the ambivalences of present-day identity; by emphasising both a reflection of the past and a search for a new form of self-realisation. Its purpose further develops the notion of modern-day liminality, providing a window into a speculative future whilst simultaneously evoking the death of the traditional deity-image.

    The collaborative research project “de_fog” explores how cultural artifacts can be manipulated through different media in times of crisis. Using a virtual reality environment, the project examines how digital objects and characters can be distorted to create new meanings and interpretations. This multimedia installation captures the transitory nature of digital media to create a liminal space in time.

    In the digital age of now, humans are neither represented by brushstrokes, ink nor figures on a light-sensitive emulsion, but by a collection of square pixels. Tiles of data that can be viewed on backlit screens

    The “We Are Data” series of painted portraits explores the dramatic changes in portraiture over the past decades. The ongoing series began in 2021 and consists of 40 acrylic paintings on 21 x 29.7 cm paper. The faces depicted were indiscriminately copied from social media and compressed into binary to reveal the raw data beneath, while maintaining the anonymity of the subjects.

    Radio Ruins: Lost and Sound is a multimedia installation created in collaboration between an external guest editor, WdKA’s Sound Studio and Operator Radio. The project is an exploration of the materiality of sound and its journey through time, space and media. The exhibition consists of a collection of modified thrift store cassette tapes and a radio broadcast featuring the collective’s research. Visitors are encouraged to explore the sound through listening, as well as discover the stories behind these sounds. Through this interactive exploration process, the collective explores the ways in which sound affects objects and bodies, and address the past, present and future.

  • Cycle 1 (2022)

    Retelling Utopia: Unfolding Spaces exhibition (2022)
    Part of Fluctoplasma Festival’s programme
    Curation: Nina Reiprich
    Westwerk, Hamburg

    Steel lighbox with tracing paper prints behind satin glass, 100×100x30cm. Part of Post-Dam Forest series.

    When we hear the words “city” and “water” together, most of us conjure up images of harbors, dams or floating structures. We grew up in places where people exercised their control over nature. It is a phenomenon that has brought us this far. Yet we are now beginning to realize that our way of life is not sustainable. But is there no alternative to this? Can’t we build cities that help us regain intimacy with nature?

    Post-Dam Forest is a speculative design project that revolves around a utopian vision for a future Rotterdam in the face of a climate catastrophe. Inspired by works by Constant Nieuwenhuys, Metabolist architecture movement, a childhood spent in communist flats, and life among the mise-en-scene of the port of Rotterdam, the design acts as a commentary on current issues such as the housing crisis, immigration, and the climate catastrophe.

    Arboretum Trompenburg, Rotterdam

    The “We Are Data” project is an exploration of the impact of technology and digital culture on the traditional human experience of portraiture. The ongoing series began in 2021 and comprises of 40 paintings on A4 paper, created using digitised data from social media personas. In order to bring this concept further into the physical realm, a selection of 64 designs from the first version have been engraved onto slate tablets using a laser. The tablets were then buried in soil in an undisclosed location in South Holland, to represent an eternal reminder of the people depicted within. While it is intended to be an artwork, it also functions as an archaeological excavation of our digital world; a reminder that our presence in the digital realm is equally as real and lasting.

    Schouwburgplein and Erasmus MC, Rotterdam

    Heart Work Heroes is the largest open-air exhibition of healthcare in the Netherlands, featuring over 41 statues adorned by local artists, scattered throughout Rotterdam. The exhibition seeks to show appreciation for healthcare workers in a positive and colorful way. The design ‘Ovation’, which won an art competition, was placed in a guest spot for an emerging artist and was shown from the 18th of May through the 27th of June 2022 at Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam.

    Unfortunately, riots following a Feyenoord football match damaged the artwork. In September, it was readjusted during a live-paint session at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. The artwork was auctioned off in October and sold to the municipality of Rotterdam, where it now resides in the Timmerhuis building.

    Red Floor Gallery, Alexandrium Shopping Centre, Rotterdam

    The ongoing painting series “Blok” was created during the global quarantine, drawing inspiration from wandering thoughts and dreams. This collection reflects a mental limbo, a liminal place of transition and self-reflection which both physically and mentally encompasses a limited space. Stojanowicz’s pixelated black-and-white paintings visualize the idea of a “grey, concrete apartment complex,” a place where people live, yet simultaneously is embedded in those who inhabit it. This space serves as a reminder of our limited memory, which stores everything in low resolution.

    Art should be accessible to everyone, and this goal can be achieved by bringing creators and viewers together in a visual-spatial interaction. The “Mark It Down” mural initiative, realized on a 1,200m2 surface at Rhôneweg in Amsterdam, was made possible through a collaborative effort between Sikkens, the MAKERSTOREN, and a collective of international artists.
