A HOUSE TO INHERIT: POSTCARDS FROM THE FUTURE
Installation
2023
Three giant puppets rest in the Tschumi Pavilion after a long walk around the province of Groningen. They’ve been writing postcards about the things theyve witnessed. About their past lives as birds, about the gas beneath the Wadden Zee. They write to the guy in the suit at the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschapij who is on holiday to ask him whether he has found inner peace. They write about a lettuce choir and about a Great Sacrifice.
These postcards were exhibited alongside the memories of the giants resting at the Herenplein.

The work was on view at the Tschumi Pavilion in Groningen in the summer of 2023.
The postcards were written by Finn van der Ziel and the project was made in collaboration with Marina Sulima.
