Inner World is specifically about stillness. The immobility in between the action is just as important as the action itself. The viewers will have to wait and see what and if something will happen. In these works there are subtle references to religion, but they aren’t explicitly religious.

Performances

The living sculptures used in Inner World are made from textiles, and the two performers are hidden inside them, but they aren’t theater costumes. The performers are invisible for the viewer, but can’t see anything. The performances are not street theatre: the living sculptures show up, stand frozen and move only now and then. Whenever something does happen, the movements are simple and measured, but you couldn’t call it dancing. Sometimes sound is used, but you couldn’t call it music. Usually, the performances are not announced as public events and don’t happen at a scheduled time. The casual passersby are the audience. The Performances of Inner World slow you down. It is important to stand still and look more closely at what you are seeing. Inner World will also be a part of the events for the Brabant Monastic Year 2021. Monasteries are not only places of contemplation, but were also communities that were self-supporting, and produced their own necessities of life.

About Guda Koster

I am a visual artist. I make installations, sculptures, performances and photos in which clothing plays an important role. Clothing not only has a function, but also conveys a message. In our daily life we ​​communicate our identity and social position mainly through our clothing. Clothing can be seen as a form of visual art that expresses the way we see ourselves and our relationship to the world around us. I treat the body as a sculptural base material, which is always impersonal and the face
