The exhibition project Lost_Horizon was an attempt to escape not only the black box my video works were confined to, but equally disconnect my artistic practice from another box, the moniker ‘video-artist’.

Next to this, there was a desire to connect my digital practice to the origins of art making within human evolution. See these emoji proposals (2021) for a much more effective method.

Most of the works were the result of a condensed 2-month working period, experimenting with various carriers for still based works (prints – framed or mounted on panels, wallpaper, leporello’s), and loop media on vertical (Galactic Ripple and Triton) and horizontal screens (The_Archive). It also introduced a projection, Last Voices, though more as an afterthought.

During the working period an external hard drive broke down. This .backup was also on display. The exhibition turned out to also be a .breakup, since I ended my collaboration with the gallery during the show for various reasons. The gallery is now defunct.

The exhibition admittedly didn’t turn out the way I set it out to do, though did provide an opportunity to try out new things. Some works have resonated since.
