Artist Jacqueline Heerema started in spring 2019, as part of the Exploded View research program, with a reconstruction of the history of ‘Land in Wording (Land in the making)’ (no.18 in the Amstelpark map), during the public intervention ‘Onland’ (September 2019), she drew in with experts the bottom of this swamp to a depth of 10 meters and a time depth of approximately 6000 years and appropriated these soil materials. During this drilling Heerema had a rather uncomfortable sensation, which she calls “Breath of Soil”. People, plants and animals breathe, but earth also breathes…. Is the soil alive?
During 3 special afternoons, Jacqueline offers the public different perspectives on the project together with guests in the context of the Exploded View exhibition.
Saturday afternoon, August 29, 2020: Between image and language: an exercise in foresight.

Location: Land in Wording, no. 18 on the map of the Amstelpark.
