BOTTLED UP

Bottled Up is an immersive installation that explores the complex and entangled relationship between plastic and water, revealing how these substances flow through broader systems of capitalism, colonialism, and consumerism. Centered around the apparition of an unexpected messenger that embodies both plastic and water, the installation draws audiences into a layered world that is at once playful and unsettling, blending humor, ritual, and visual excess.

​

Bottled Up invites audiences to confront their own complicity in a culture of overconsumption and disposability, while reflecting on what it means to seek meaning in a world shaped by the synthetic and the ephemeral.

​

The work-in-progress presentation will take place at The Grey Space in The Hague on September 5, 2026, followed by its premiere at Hošek Contemporary in Berlin in summer 2027.
