Estranged domestic objects hang from the window of the studio and residential building of Bastienne Kramer in Funenpark. When the day slowly turns into night, these objects, looking like abstracted ‘sofa elements’, radiate light and words become visible. Referring to the situation in which we, at the time were in, being tied to home and the resulting impossibility of physical contact with most of the people surrounding us.

The work is part of her series Home Made Energy. With Warmtebeeld #10 Bastienne is balancing on the line between dilettantism and professionalism, uniqueness and seriality, textual and visual communication, solid and liquid, collective and autonomous.

Interestingly, Bastienne has been there for earlier editions of Welcome Stranger - at the very start in the autumn of 1992, and in 1998 as a contributor of Moving In. You can read more about these in our newly updated Archive here and here.
