Catalogue Traces

Brandstof together with the artist Alex Farrar.

The purpose of our eyelashes is to protect our eyes and our vision. Despite their inconspicuous form, eyelashes are immediately identifiable as being ‘of us’. Under the title of Whimper – which could be a misspelling of the Dutch word ‘wimper’ – the artist Alex Farrar will make a site-specific intervention with eyelashes collected from the floor of Garage Rotterdam. This edition of Brandstof will highlight our corporeality and produce an intimate encounter between visitors to the exhibition Traces.
