(Archive) Het Kamertje

Een interactieve performance over regels en macht

This project was part of DDW 2023
Mateusz Janas

Het Kamertje is an interactive performance that takes place in (semi-) public space developed to make people reflect on the extent to which we reproduce existing power structures with our (unconscious) behaviour.

Maintaining the status quo

At regular intervals, the post-new normal is enforced in Het Ketelhuisplein. As a visitor, you will most likely come into contact with the enforcers of the post-new normal. Depending on how you respond to the enforcers, you may or may not be given access to Het Kamertje.

Het Kamertje is an ongoing investigation into power and (unwritten) rules. We humans tend to maintain the status quo, to uphold the prevailing norm. How do you deal with prevailing rules? And what do you do when you are allowed to make the rules yourself?
