20 sec preview - Here There, 2026

Within Here There, arms and legs appear and disappear through window-like frames. A playful dialogue unfolds as fragmented body parts interact and connect across panels. Gestures range from tentative and inquisitive to direct and communicative – pointing, reaching, balancing, and cycling through repeated movements that guide the viewer’s attention.

Here There continues Astrid Mulder’s exploration of collage as both a material process and conceptual framework. Through acts of fragmentation and reassembly, Mulder explores how parts form a whole, and how meaning can emerge, shift, and deepen through fragmentation.

Ideas of direction, balance, and connection are expressed through both their presence and absence within the work. Limbs align across panels to suggest a complete body, yet never fully resolve. The compositions move between logic and play, suggesting coherence, while resisting fixed interpretation, allowing space for multiple readings to emerge. Gestural cues extend beyond the screen space, directing attention back into the surrounding environment and activating the site as part of the composition itself.
