Lace entered our practice before a grand theory caught up. We weren’t looking for symbolism, we watched light in slow motion. In Angelic Space (2005), lace became an anti-screen: not a surface that receives an image, but one that distorts it. Projections pass through holes instead of landing cleanly. Color scatters. Shadows leaks. At first, nothing resolves. Then, slowly, perception clicks. The image doesn’t appear, it is assembled in the viewer’s mind. Slow-motion seeing ch

When human and algorithm collide to co-compose urban memory, place, and performance.

Distorted Notes on “Incubating Narratives, Haegue Yang”, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Oct. 04, 2025

A vessel of experiments, not solutions: Berlin dreams forward. Art offers fresh air, not answers—tenderness as promise, conversation as future.

For our final Open Day at Hangar, we wanted to share a collection of forty color-coded photographs. With no dedicated exhibition space available, we decided to transform the limitations into an opportunity—creating a leporello in collaboration with XYZ Books (also known as concertina or accordion fold).

Nabuurs&VanDoorn return to Lisbon with a kinetic activation of Minor Modes of Multiple Muted Memories, where color-coded protocols unfold through movement across the city’s overlooked topographies. Interpreted by breakdancer Timo Paris, these gestures transform public space into a living atlas—part score, part spell, part site-specific choreography.

Currently nomadic, we explore how movement, memory, and public space entangle—through mapping and storytelling in Lisbon. A blackout reminded us of our digital dependence. We return to paper, walking, marking, tracing lived experience. What we map is not place but perception. A line through Lisbon becomes a Living Atlas—forty points, two questions, many echoes. A quiet rupture becomes an invitation to grow new eyes.

Lately we started to look back at this idea of a nomadic sculpture and rethink its potential.
