~ And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff

The work And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff deals with the fear of becoming homeless. The work consists of the remains of Van Gorkum’s previous works, such as Talk Show, for which she printed pictures of her parental home on textile and Monkey – The Omniscient, a work about instincts and illusions. As in the animal kingdom, people too have the primal urge to mark their territory. Van Gorkum defines this in an image as we recognize throughout our daily rituals. As the wanderers on the street are clinging to the luggage they can’t let go of, Van Gorkum recycles the material that was once used to shape her dreams to visualize her nightmare.
