Being Here For You

06.2021

Coming week, Emke will be on the island op Terschelling to take part in ‘Being Here For You.’ This is what she writes about it herself:

‘This week, I will be on the island of Terschelling, taking part in an exciting experiment. I will be the instrument for another artist, who is not there, to make a site specific work. I will be her eyes, her perception, her movement, her hands. Naja Lee Jensen (Norway) will be present through me. I don’t know yet how it will work.

I am thinking of my ‘instrument’, my body, my eyes, my ears, my nose, my skin, my thoughts, my sixth sense. How can I calibrate myself to be fully there for Naja?’

The concept and protocols of ‘Being Here For You’ are made by Rita Hoofwijk (Ams/Bxl) and Hannah Loewenthal (SA). I am their guest.’
