Shaping Bonds at IDFA

The exhibition of Shaping Bonds this year is in harmony with our immediate surroundings. Het Vondelpark seeps into Het Documentaire Paviljoen, while the Pavilion extends into the park. Across installations, audio tours, and workshops, inside and outside become porous, inviting us to reconsider the environments we inhabit.

Immerse yourself in the installation Stinky Mirrors (by Venus Jasper), a calming, safe space to ground the senses. Explore an alternative evolutionary history of humankind in the video installation The Book of Silence (Agnieszka Polska). The augmented reality installation Future Botanica (Polymorf) allows you to design botanical lifeforms and thus explore desires and fears regarding the future of nature.

Both Messages to a Post Human Earth and Only Expansion invite audiences to explore the surroundings of Het Documentaire Paviljoen through audio experiences that trigger the senses and transport you to different worlds while shedding new light on the direct surroundings. Reserve a time slot for the audio walks online.
