IT, IT IS USUAL TO ADD ROSE WHICH IS FOUR ROWS. IT IS USUAL TO ADD IT.

2024, performance, edition of handkerchiefs

For Beyond the Black Box, Myrthe van der Mark presented a new performance and room-sized installation on both the ephemeralness and sturdiness of life. 

Through this work, Van der Mark explores the symbolism of braids, the colours of mourning, accompanying scents, flower arrangements, architectural clothing, accessories, tableware and small, elaborate hair works. Touching upon the world of object and speech, Van der Mark weaves together contemporary life, as if it is a non-narrative film with its own laws. A landscape, a portrait, a still life. In collaboration with Joachim Badenhorst.
