House of Fools (Willem the Silent), 2020

These works are inspired by the current discourse about the 'heroes' from history. Men who are at the base of Dutch history, such as Willem van Oranje. But to what extent is patriotic pride justified? To what extent are we able to create a clear picture of the past with our contemporary perception of good and evil, with our contemporary values? With this as a starting point, images emerge that both confirm and question the heroism of these men.
