Thijs Jeager en Rick Laging

In front of the window, in the centre of the room, stands the “world” of Komt TIDE Komt Raet, created by Rik Laging and Thijs Jager. On a plinth that also serves as a packing crate, they present us with an impressive fantasy world, full of sound and movement. In fact, there are two worlds. An upper world and an underworld. The upper world consists of fragments from games, sci-fi films, fantasy figures, film characters, and fantastical constructions. In short, too many to mention. The underworld consists of a tangle of wires, small motors and electronics. The underworld controls the upper world and ensures that everything keeps moving. Thijs Jaeger speaks of dark work with a wink. And so it is.
