This practice-as-research project, that will be developed during the Nieuwenmeer Residency proposes an autoethnographic inquiry into painting, travel, and drift. It situates painting not as a self-contained act, but as a dialogic, reflexive process.
Shaped by place, memory, conversations and mediation. Its objectives explore the role of the painter as a "passenger" within European art historical and cultural discourse and also interrogate the fragmentation and contingency of images in the context of digital and post-capitalist societies.
