Artist Statement


Our belongings, hence the name, belong to us. Do we ever think that they long not to be? Dear inanimate, are you comfortable there? Dear cushion, sitting on my bed. Quiet and asleep. Waiting for my head to land on you. My sweet sweater, caressing me throughout the harsh cold. Be kind and be loving to your companions. You’ll probably outlast all of us. What does life mean if there is no death? Will you be constantly confronted by waste and neglect. Will I be constantly tempted by greed.

Annebel Bruschinski is a Dutch artist who explores the transition between life, death and the afterlife. They deconstruct and reconstruct, visualising the cycles of loss and renewal, life and death. Through their work, Bruschinski uncovers the relationship between us and our clothing. Though seemingly lifeless, textiles are witnesses to our lives, bearing marks of care and neglect. What stories do these objects hold? Do they long for a different existence beyond their functional roles? Through the process of breaking down and rebuilding, focusing on the seams and hidden parts of clothing, the work shown reveal the untold stories of textiles. Bruschinski's work encourages reflection on themes of waste, consumption and control.

Bruschinski's work has been shown in: The New Current(Stichting Root), Connection (Gallery Bart), Counterbodies(NEON foundation), Intertwined Surroundings(Gallery o68) and Art The Hague(Gallery o68).
