From Today On, Everything Is Different
Kunstenfestival Borkel en Schaft, 2025
self portrait on mesh fabric, 6 x 4.8 m
“I am reborn. It is slimy, cold, terrifying, cosmic, loving and playful. On this planet, everything is new. Here I open my eyes, here I lick my wounds.”
From Today On, Everything Is Different is an ode to transformation. The self-portrait was created during a period of personal transformation after overcoming depression. With this experience, Meike developed a deep appreciation for the mutability of human beings. Movement arises from stillness, creating a force that continuously reinvents itself. The body that appears carries no past, but with the naivety of a newborn calf, claims a new place in the world.
Change is vulnerable, raw and unpredictable, but it allows you to get to know the world and yourself in a new way. What does your world look like when you see everything for the first time?
